Hello. I’m writing because you are someone who cares about Ridgewood’s schools. As you may know, I am running for re-election to the Ridgewood Board of Education. I’ve been serving on the BOE for three years, and I have so much more to give to our schools and our community.
I have helped achieve the following during my time on the Board of Ed:
• Installation of new District website and student information system with parent access to grades, attendance, etc.
• Creation and administration of Parent Survey; will be repeated annually
• Improved communication regarding budgets and referendum
• Prioritization and management of referendum/facilities projects
• Improved access to athletic fields for all Ridgewood youth
• Negotiation of contract with REA (teachers’ union) — ongoing
There is so much more I want to do, including:
• Improve communication
• Complete successful union negotiations
• Find more efficiencies in our budget
• Improve technology access and use by students & teachers
• Create improved methods for evaluating teachers
When I ran for the BOE three years ago, it wasn’t because of a single issue. Hot button issues come and go. Our schools need leaders who can explore a variety of complex issues with an open mind, and make thoughtful decisions, day in and day out, to balance the needs of our students with consideration for the taxpayers who fund our schools. You and I may not agree on every topic, but I have a proven track record of working hard on all the issues facing our schools, and I welcome alternate opinions.
The attached flyer gives more detail about me and my thoughts on the issues.
How you can help:
1. VOTE Laurie Goodman on Wednesday, April 27.
2. PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE NOW to your Ridgewood friends and neighbors.
Thank you,
Laurie
