Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Board of Education met on Friday, June 30, 2023. The meeting was supposed to be an endorsement of the current vendor AlphaBest for Before/After Care Program. Proponents Hyunju Kwak and Sheila Brogan failed to make their case and the board did not approve the current vendor.
Questions have now arisen over the fairness of the process with accusations of favoritism toward the current vendor . Several vendors have complained that the Request for proposal (RFP) failed to disclose some of the elements the Evaluation Committee used for scoring the bids and the June 30th meeting seemed to confirm that .
