Before we board our planes and pack up the cars for some much needed downtime, we want to briefly tell you why we are running for Ridgewood’s Board of Education in November’s election.
We strongly believe that Excellent Schools Make Our Village Strong.
To build excellent schools, we must:
Increase efficiency and academic excellence with research-driven curriculum
Support all areas of child development from academics to extracurriculars to mental health
Support success for all children
Build trust and new avenues for collaboration with the community
Build consistency across all Ridgewood schools
Our kids have been on Ridgewood’s sports teams and music groups, in AP classes and special education classes. We have volunteered for fundraisers and our HSAs.
We ARE Ridgewood!
Together, we have over fifty years of experience in education as parents, teachers, administrators, professors, researchers, and writers. We want to put our unique background to work in the Ridgewood School District and maintain its tradition of excellence.
And we need your help.
