In hindsight it may have not been a good move giving up the school budget vote
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, The core of the controversy centers on a perceived imbalance in district spending. While teaching positions are being eliminatedâleading to concerns over increased class sizes for incoming 8th graders at GWâthe district has recently expanded its central office.
Parents are demanding answers to two critical questions:
-
Administrative Bloat? The district now operates with two Assistant Superintendents and has reportedly hired new administrative assistants to support them.
-
Student Impact: How can the Board justify prioritizing administrative support staff over front-line educators who interact with students daily?
“What benefits are our kids getting from these new hires that supersedes the benefits they are getting from these teachers?” asked one concerned parent on social media, echoing a sentiment felt across the Village.
The Transparency Gap
A major point of contention is the way the news broke. Rather than a formal announcement from the Ridgewood BoE, many parents reported hearing about the “staffing slashes” directly from their children after teachers were notified.
This has led to a breakdown in trust, with residents questioning the districtâs commitment to “open communication.” If the goal is a balanced budget, the community is asking why the classroom is the first place to feel the blade.
Whatâs Next for Ridgewood Schools?
As class sizes at George Washington Middle School are projected to rise, parents are looking toward the next Board of Education meeting to demand a line-by-line justification for these cuts.
Key issues the community wants addressed:
-
Final Staffing Numbers: A clear count of how many positions have been eliminated.
-
Class Size Projections: Hard data on how these cuts will change the teacher-to-student ratio.
-
The “Why” Behind Admin Hires: A public explanation of why new administrative roles are essential during a budget crunch.

Thank Siobhan Winograd for this mess.
Honestly, what does she have to do with it?
Actually thanks to Winograd and
Bob Fuhrman,
Matthew Lindenberg,
Stacey Loscalzo,
Deborah Steinbaum
(One village one vote resulted in One Village No Vote)
They worked hard to remove your voting rights by moving Village Council and Board of Education elections to November
They were actually able to convince so-called educated Ridgewood residents to vote to forfeit their right to vote in April for School Board Trustees and the school budget
Winograd is a conniving self-serving opportunist
The liberal way. Tax and spend
This is the result of all the NYC liberals moving here
Which would also explain all the ridiculous virtue-signaling “Hate has no home here” lawns signs scattered throughout the town.
âHate has no home hereâ, until a republican knocks.
That’s right. Ask any of these lawn sign owners what they think of Donald Trump, and the lawn sign will melt.
and the teslas and rivians. they are coal powered cars
and the original douchbag car… prius
I didn’t notice one of those signs outside borough/village hall…………
Thereâs a recent administrator hired for PR. lol . That person should be the first to go. Canât even get out in front of an obvious community interest story.
Then thereâs all the contracts that moved over from Paterson With the new BA.
Take a look at these two items before firing teachers! (Teachers that actually want to be there too)
Too late…. Residents need to attend meetings not social media. And elections matter
Why is the Board of Education Cutting Teachers While Hiring Administrators?
Because bureaucrats do, what bureaucrats do, especially when they are accountable to no one except their club.
you have to be a nitwit to vote to end the budget vote
No budget vote thanks to
Siobhan Winograd,
Bob Fuhrman,
Matthew Lindenberg,
Stacey Loscalzo,

and the Ridgewood league of women voters
the league of women voters promoting ending the school budget vote , just pathetic and you inbreeds went for it
The League of Women Voters is a cabal of dishonest Democrats (Are there any other kind?), too dishonest to name their organization for what it actually is, the League of Left Wing Women Voters.
people from nyc should be bared from voting for at lest 5 years , they crealy can not make adult decisions
brought to you by the same idiot who could not pick the right garbage cans
this used to be a great town before all the riff-raff moved here
wow voters in Ridgewood suck
not signing any petition , learn to vote like a grown up
guess all that a$$ ki$$ing didnt work out
Kwak and Dani chased out a superintendent who did a job that now requires 2 new hires and 4 secretaries. 7 people to replace 1. What else do you need to know?
Now Dani and the Supt donât get along
Dani knows how to add thats why you guys don’t like him
2+4=7âŚLol. THATS all you need to know.
Do you know how to add numbers?
There is a complete overflow of administration at the BOE most are unqualified and definitely OVER PAID
I was working behind the curtain, people that are donating big money,
Yes, and soon more big donors as a result of the contracts brought in. Wait for this next election.
Insurance companies are connected to local and state democratic machines.
if you were dumb enough to give up your right to vote , you didnt deserve it to begin with
