Ridgewood NJ, Ms. Kwak shared that the BOE Budget Committee has had constructive, collaborative discussions with the Village Council on the defeated budget. They are thankful to Dr. Fishbein and Ms. Kelly for identifying opportunities that will allow us to continue to deliver programming and address the curricular needs of the students. She thanked everyone who has been involved in this process. Ms. Brogan noted that the Village Council will be discussing the budget at their meeting on Wednesday. Dr. Fishbein added that some of the areas identified for reductions included capital and maintenance. Since some of the maintenance budget would have been used for the additional expenses related to the reopening of schools, other areas of the budget will need to cover those costs.

  1. Where are the savings from having our physical schools closed for the past ten weeks? Electricity, heating, water, support staff, grounds, transportation, cafeteria, etc?

  2. The biggest expense is personnel. To make any meaningful cut to the budget you need to cut personnel. Otherwise, its just window dressing and make believe.

  3. I’m assume that every single employee associated with Ridgewood Public Schools has received 100% of their scheduled compensation during the shut down. This is just my assumption – please inform me if I’m wrong.

  4. Please identify Ms. Sqwak correctly as Mrs. Steve Kim

  6. I guess you didn’t watch the meeting.
