Ridgewood Board of Education (BOE) members have been discussing ways to increase public support for the 2014-2015 school budget.
In September, they will decide whether that means publicly exploring a spending plan with less than the state-mandated 2 percent tax hike.
On July 22, a first discussion about that possibility was initiated by BOE Vice President Vince Loncto.
Loncto said he wanted to see the BOE “identify things that would be necessary to do” if faced with lower revenue. Exploring these options at public meetings – as well as the accompanying “implications” – could help “generate more full-scale community support,” he noted.

(This Reader Says)… Thanks for sharing this education story.
Always interesting to read that President Brogan and Lenhard are never interested in exploring ways to keep costs down and make those options available to the public. Ms. Brogan appears to lover spending the taxpayers money. She may have been in her position on the board for too long.
