Increased Taxes and Spending Won’t Help New Jersey Grow

By Tom Bracken and Michele Siekerka, Opportunity NJ

Trenton NJ, Governor Murphy’s recent Budget Address painted an optimistic picture of New Jersey’s current financial health and future prospects, declaring victory on goals that included “restoring fiscal responsibility” and “delivering property tax relief” as if the work were already done. While we appreciate the Governor’s commitment to business growth, workforce development, and investments in infrastructure, making New Jersey a competitive regional powerhouse means forging a difficult path ahead — and this budget proposal won’t get us there.

Vision 2024: Meeting Needs of Today’s Learner and Tomorrow’s Workplace

High School Flood theridgewoodblog.net
Daniel Fishbein, Ed.D., is Superintendent of the Ridgewood Public Schools. Dr. Fishbein can be reached at 201-670-2700, ext. 10530, or via e-mail at [email protected]
How can we best prepare our students for success in the workplace? As an educator and the leader of the district, this is a question that must be carefully considered and revisited often to ensure that we are meeting the needs of today’s learners in preparation for both the current workplace and the one of the future. While a rigorous and current academic program is the core of our Tradition of Excellence, this was also one of the guiding questions contemplated during the development of the Vision 2024 Strategic Plan. Skills that were previously identified as “soft” skills have recently taken the forefront of must-have qualities sought by employers. Similarly, our Strategic Planning Council and Steering Committee identified creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and resilience as essential competencies; these became known as the “Habits of Learning” that feed into the ultimate goal of Vision 2024–lifelong learning.
