Ridgewood NJ, at the June 4th Ridgewood Board of Education meeting , Ms. Kelly presented the revised 2020-2021 final budget with adjustments in the amount of $630,000 that were determined by a joint committee of the Village Council and the Board of Education as a result of the failed budget. Ms. Kelly outlined the proposed cuts and adjusted revenues, which can be viewed on the first slide of her presentation. Of the $630,000 in adjustments to the budget, $150,000 is the result of an increase in revenue, and $480,000 reflects reductions on the expense side. Reductions are being made in the areas of custodial, capital outlay, summer maintenance, and administration/benefits as the result of a reduction in a business office position. The second slide of the presentation shows the revised budget lines, indicating changes in the following budget areas: benefits, facilities, administration, and capital.
