>The Fly has learned that the recent daytime intrusions into two separate Ridgewood public schools have prompted a grass roots movement to keep children out of school on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4th. It is expected that an informal e-mail and flyer campaign promoting the movement will begin shortly.
The movement’s leader, who wishes to remain anonymous at this time, told The Fly that “There will be many strangers in my child’s school because it’s a polling place and I just don’t think that school administration can give parents any assurance that these people won’t get anywhere near my child.”
At this time, the official Ridgewood BOE website makes no reference to the most recent daytime school intrusion, in which a male/female burglary team made their way inside of the Ridge School on West Ridgewood Avenue and rifled through the personal belongings of several staff members. One intruder was apprehended on the scene by uniformed Ridgewood police officers; the other managed to escape.
Will you be sending your child to school on November 4th or not?
