Changing school vote not in step with village ‘values’
Joyce and Keith Schnaars
To the editor:
The proposal to trade the public vote in Ridgewood for a $43K savings on a $92 million school budget and separate the direct partnership with the community and families of children in the public schools marginalizes the responsibility of citizens of Ridgewood.
This community values education and how and where its tax dollars are spent. This differentiates Ridgewood from other communities.
How about you go to the VC and tell them you want to vote on the municipal budget?
The municipal budget is a small fraction of the BOE budget. The BOE budget is where the real money is going.
