Ridgewood NJ ,the transition from the “one village one vote” referendum, shifting the school board election from April to November, presented a unique challenge. Following the advice of the school board attorney, the board decided to skip the November 2022 election. However, an unintended consequence emerged as all three members who had run in November 2021 were elected for three-year terms, instead of having one member serve a one-year term to maintain the required annual school board election cycle under New Jersey law. To rectify this, there is a proposal to hold an election in November 2024, with one seat for a one-year term and two seats for three-year terms, thereby reestablishing a more balanced 2-2-1 election cycle, which aligns with the state’s requirement for annual school board elections. This adjustment aims to ensure a fair and consistent election process for the school board moving forward.
