New Board of Ed web pages

The Board of Ed has expanded its web pages on the District website, in an effort to give the public more information on what we do, how and why. If you go to the Ridgewood Public Schools website and click Board of Ed on the left, you'll find:
-- Board member bios with e-mail addresses;
-- An FAQs page with explanations of how the Board operates, what the Board is responsible for vs. what the superintendent is responsible for, meeting formats, etc.;
-- List of Board committees with descriptions and Board member assignments;
-- Detailed line item budget;
-- Referendum planning page, containing drawings of expansion plans for GW, Willard, Hawes and Ridge.

If you check it out, let me know what you think. Is there anything else about the Board of Ed you'd like to know?

Thank you for this information. I found it very interesting to read about the roles and responsibilities for the board members and the superintendant.
