Ridgewood school district has been in decline for years despite the high taxes… and all the current crop of teachers seem to care about is cutting their health benefit contribution amount.
This has been a nationwide issue for some time now.As for the village schools in decline, not as much as t8:10 am suggest it is still a award winning system by most educational standards. Teachers whining about there health care to bad welcome to the real world.
Award winning system…lol..says who? New Jersey Monthly Magazine?????
It doesn’t matter how good the schools actually are… it only matters how good the parents think the reputation of the schools are… aka “tradition of Excellence”
