Superintendent’s Update
Thursday, September 20, 2007 4:00pm
To update you on recent events:
1. There has been no bomb threat directed at any Ridgewood public school. We are in constant communication with the Ridgewood Police Department, which is keeping us fully informed.
2. We have an RHS sophomore who has been missing since September 10, 2007. We are working with the Police, the family, and other agencies to locate this student.
3. There is no evidence of any connection between the missing student and the threats made against the communities in Northern Bergen County.
4. We are again implementing heightened security at all buildings tonight.
The safety of your children is our primary concern. Thanks for your cooperation and support. If there is any change in this information, we will update you immediately on the website and by e-news.

>What’s this about a RHS sophomore missing? Who?
>There was a little story in today’s Record. The boy is Arijit Mitra. They are pretty sure he ran away from home as he took $5,000 from his parents and packed a bag, and was also researching flights to Vegas online. Pretty scary, though, to have your kid missing for 10+ days!
>Here’s more info on Arijit, including his picture.
>He’s also listed with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
>PJ … Could you post a separate heading for this missing youth with a photo?
>Firstly, I want to commend Dr. Brennan for NOT jumping on the panic train re: the bomb threat.
Secondly, just pray that Arijit is found safe and brought home. A missing child is every parents worse nightmare.
>I am not sure by this post you get any criticism of Mr Brennan, there are a lot of people in town who are very concerned for the children too bad that more often the BOE isnt one of the them unless they can make lots of money off it .Mr. Brennan seems to be on top of things and I am wondering if he is in consideration for full time status …or is he not a enough of a BOZO for the BOE like Marty Brooks or Stokely or Porter ?
Seems being a money waster and expectation lowerer is the only qualification?
>I agree 1:33 PM. Seems like Brennan has his head screwed on straight. That, however, would disqualify him for the full time job. Our BOE needs to find someone with the same level of disdain for parents, willingness to lie to parents, obsequiousness to administrators, and aloofness from the taxpayer.
They’ll eventually find another loser just like that. It just won’t be Brennan.
>yes i also agree Brennan is not anough of an idiot to be picked by the BOE
>Dr. Brennan,
If you’re reading this, please please please help us.
>As I said way back when he came on as our new interim…. “Can we keep him?????? Huhhhhh??? Pleeeeeeese?????? Can we keep him?”
I am begging him to stay on.
