>Ridgewood Schools: We should refuse state funding and privatize the district

Property taxes are how we are supposed to pay for our schools. What we get back from the state via our income taxes, which were to be used for school funding in economically unsustainable districts, is a government sop to overtaxed NJ suburbanites.

In actually, we would be better off without the state funding. We should refuse it, privatize the district, jettison the REA and free ourselves from state government mandates. Without the state telling us what to do, we would surely recoup the $1.9 million in addition to finding other ways to reduce expenditures. This might even lower our taxes.
