Ridgewood Police Traffic Safety Bureau Reports Multiple Incidents Of High School Students Without a License Driving in an Unsafe Manor

Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Police Traffic Safety Bureau has had multiple incidents where we have made motor vehicle stops for unsafe driving and have found High School students without a license and in possession of only a permit. These students have been driving to and from school as well as driving around after school, without being accompanied by an Adult Supervising Driver, as required by law. After having conversations with the student drivers, as well as parents in the community and the school, we have found that this is considered an acceptable practice by some parents and students. We cannot stress enough how unsafe and illegal this is. We see an excessive amount of dangerous and risky driving associated with unlicensed drivers. We would like to take this opportunity to inform both the parents and the children the consequences of these actions.

Ridgewood Board of Education Survey Receives Only 20 Responses ?

Ridgewood NJ, at Monday night’s Ridgewood Board of Education meeting, Dr. Gorman and board members speculated that the reason that their last survey only received 20 responses was that parents completely trusted administrators and were very content. Perhaps, parents are busy and overwhelmed and have no time to read complicated emails.
In case parents just missed the survey, let me explain the issue. The district received nearly $2m from the federal government to help students and families and schools struggling to recover from remote education. How should they spend that money? On tutoring, mental health initiatives, and summer school? Or on air filters and substitute teachers? Let the board know. The budget has to be finalized by November 24th ( Ridgewood voters no longer vote of the school budget) .

School Choice Options Go Mainstream after Disruptive 2020/2021 Pandemic Year

Ridgewood NJ, a year and a half into the COVID pandemic many parents recognized, perhaps for the first time, that they have so many options available to them in every other area of their lives and of their parenting; yet, when it comes to educating their kids, they are left with a one-size-fits-all government school assignment. This is no longer tolerable to families who desire much more choice and customization in their children’s learning.
