THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD – Teachers have chosen to sit out this month’s Harlem Wizards charity basketball game at the high school as contract talks continue between the Ridgewood Education Association and the Board of Education.
Members of the REA will not take to the court on Jan. 27 for the Ridgewood All-Stars charity event against the Harlem Wizards but about two dozen parents and school administrators — including principals — will substitute at the event.
The game — with tickets at $12 each — is sponsored by the Ridgewood Federated Home and School Association, with proceeds put toward the student-safety initiative in the village, Schools Superintendent Dan Fishbein said.
