What's ahead for NJ education?

New Jersey Commissioner of Education Bret Schundler has agreed to be the keynote speaker at the Garden State Coalition of Schools' "Summit @ Summit" general meeting on March 2. The public is invited to come hear about what's going on in Trenton and how the changes will affect districts like Ridgewood. This is a great opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and gather valuable insights for local decision making.

In addition to Mr. Schundler, confirmed attendees include:
Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, Jr.
Assembly Minority Conference Leader Jon Bramnick
Assembly Health & Senior Services Committee member Nancy Munoz
Assembly Education Committee member Mila Jasey

Date: March 2 @ 7:30 p.m.
Location: Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School

(Directions at www.summit.k12.nj.us)

Administration and Board members from Ridgewood will be attending, and we'll keep you updated on the news we get. There may be Ridgewood parents arranging carpools - contact your HSA or let me know if you're interested.
