School district faces financial challenges

To the editor:
Ridgewood’s annual school election is next Tuesday, April 16. Ridgewood is unique in that we are one of approximately 40 school districts that still submit its budget to the voters for approval. Dr. Fishbein and the members of the Board have attended 13 public forums around the village to explain and answer questions about the budget.
I am voting no on this budget and future budgets until the Village Projects deal is off the table. We are proposing to throw hundreds of more families into our school system without dealing with existing needs first.
^^ That makes absolutely no sense. Taking money away from the schools is not going to influence the decision makers on the housing projects one bit. Village council could not careers whether the school budget passes or fails.
Should have read “could not care less” (autocorrect!)
