Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Board of Education held its first meeting of 2024. The first order of business was swearing in Ms. Micale and Mr. Dani as trustees .
And then in a direct slap in the face to Ridgewood voters, taxpayers and homeowners , the ethically challenged Ms. Brogan,was named president of the Board of Education .
The latest election tilted the board of ed balance in favor of the teachers union and the latest board move is part of that result .
The election of Ms Brogan signaled a further decline in the once great “tradition of excellence ” Ridgewood School system and set an all time low in Board of Education policy. and a failure of trustees to abide by the Code of Ethics for School Board Members .
Not unusual for the Ridgewood School District, but now with the election of Ms Brogan all sense and pretense of “ethics” is out the window.
FYI:
18A:12-24.1 Code of Ethics for School Board Members.
A school board member shall abide by the following Code of Ethics for School Board Members:
- I will uphold and enforce all laws, rules and regulations of the State Board of Education, and court orders pertaining to schools. Desired changes shall be brought about only through legal and ethical procedures.
- I will make decisions in terms of the educational welfare of children and will seek to develop and maintain public schools that meet the individual needs of all children regardless of their ability, race, creed, sex, or social standing.
- I will confine my board action to policy making, planning, and appraisal, and I will help to frame policies and plans only after the board has consulted those who will be affected by them.
- I will carry out my responsibility, not to administer the schools, but, together with my fellow board members, to see that they are well run.
- I will recognize that authority rests with the board of education and will make no personal promises nor take any private action that may compromise the board.
- I will refuse to surrender my independent judgment to special interest or partisan political groups or to use the schools for personal gain or for the gain of friends.
- I will hold confidential all matters pertaining to the schools which, if disclosed, would needlessly injure individuals or the schools. In all other matters, I will provide accurate information and, in concert with my fellow board members, interpret to the staff the aspirations of the community for its school.
- I will vote to appoint the best qualified personnel available after consideration of the recommendation of the chief administrative officer.
- I will support and protect school personnel in proper performance of their duties.
- I will refer all complaints to the chief administrative officer and will act on the complaints at public meetings only after failure of an administrative solution.
