Michael Falkowksi, the district’s business administrator, is resigning after just over one year working at 49 Cottage Place, the Ridgewood Board of Education (BOE) headquarters.
Falkowski’s resignation, effective Aug. 22, was part of the consent agenda during a BOE meeting on Monday, July 21.
“I know that your long commute was an issue,” said Board President Sheila Brogan after thanking Falkowski for his work.
Falkowski was hired in April 2013 and began his tenure on July 1, 2013, putting his total time in the district at one year, one month, and 21 days; or 10,008 hours, or 600,480 minutes.
Falkowski did not offer comment during the meeting about his resignation and declined to comment after the meeting. He would not answer questions about the reason behind his resignation or about future employment. Falkowski did not return additional phone calls or emails seeking comment during the week.

Commute should always be a factor in hiring. People think they can hack it but often they can’t, and in bad weather they may show up late or not at all. Unfair for one person to have that excuse while others slog to work on time.
Wouldn’t he know how long his commute would be? Ballpark anyway. Probably had to drive up here numerous times for interview purposes, etc. or just check it out beforehand given the miles if you are considering a position far away. Don’t get it.
