Trustee to run again for BOE
To the Editor:
I am announcing that I have submitted a petition to seek re-election to the Ridgewood Board of Education for the one-year unexpired term, which will be on the April 17 ballot.
This one-year unexpired term grants a unique opportunity to permit me, if re-elected, to complete the district’s current negotiations with the Ridgewood Education Association (REA), our district’s teachers union. This is the one open item that I would love the opportunity to see through to completion in the very short term.
As a Board of Education, our prep work for these negotiations commenced in the summer of 2010. Since then, I have been personally involved in every internal meeting and negotiating discussion. Our face-to-face discussions with the REA started in February 2011, well in advance of the previous contract’s expiration date of June 2011. These meetings have also included two rounds of talks with a state mediator.
