Ridgewood NJ, Legislative plans have been approved to spend more than $300 million in state bond proceeds on school projects throughout the state, including upgrades at county colleges, K-12 schools and vocational-technical schools.

More than 540 different projects would be funded under the spending plans, which cleared the Assembly Appropriations Committee in unanimous votes Wednesday.

The funding for the proposed capital projects was raised through a $500 million state bond issue that won narrow approval from voters in 2018.

Under the terms of the bond issue, the funding can only be used to improve career-training facilities at county colleges and vocational-technical schools, and to upgrade school security and water infrastructure at K-12 schools.

The proposed spending must also get a final signoff from Gov. Phil Murphy, who has previously signaled he would support the spending plans . According to estimates the following would be allotted projects : $323,215, Ridgewood Public School District,  $142,792, Glen Rock Public School District, and $31,606, Ho-Ho-Kus School District.

  1. What project is being funded for Ridgewood public schools?

  2. I hope they spend all the money on more woke socialist indoctrination.

    All that math, science and english is just a bunch of useless racist claptrap.
