Reader says Without last-in first-out , Ridgewood schools would be totally run by friends and family

Without last-in first-out our schools (and village services) would be totally run by friends and family.

Look at the schools. There are lots of family trees in the RPS system. Some schools only hire on the friends and family plan. Who hires in the middle schools? Without regulation only unaffiliated staff would be let go and family members would be moved into safe positions. We have union rules to keep the politics out of the layoff process.

It is not about effective and ineffective teachers. It is about the “Friends and Family” plan that exists in this town and many others.

  1. Same with RPD and RFD…. ensures the long run decline/stagnation of these departments because there are no outside ideas when junior fears what dad will think. This is a major no no in organizational behaviour. Stifles new thinking, best practice, and necessary change to drive the long run well being of these departments

  2. This is such an easy fix – both for “Family and Friends” and last in first out (LIFO). You hire and you promote based upon quality and competence scores

  4. Feeding at the public trough….
