>But, of course, the teacher’s children can attend Ridgewood’s schools and this costs them nothing. What, overall, does this benefit cost Ridgewood? How many teachers live outside of Ridgewood but have children attending the schools? In light of the above projected shortfall, should the Village Council be considering charging the teachers SOMETHING?
Does anyone know what the % paid by non-resident Village employess is for children attending?
>Would someone please explain what the Resource Center is and what the total expenditures for it are? Thank you.
>Carol, you’re right!
This is an old fight and still the BOE resists the change.
Charge the teachers at least half.
>stop spending my tax money on fake grass.
