The Ridgewood school district is backing two resolutions in a fight against state mandates that officials say are placing a burden on Ridgewood.
Both resolutions are being sent to various state legislators and New Jersey education groups for review.
The Board of Education (BOE) noted in one of the documents, which were approved last week, that “based on the history of high test scores achieved in Ridgewood Public Schools, these new mandates are unnecessary to the district to provide a thorough and efficient education system, a fact making these unfunded mandates particularly onerous to Ridgewood Public Schools.”
