I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the students, teachers, staff, community members and Board of Education for their assistance in passing the Ridgefield School Budget by an unprecedented 63% margin.

Obviously, this was more than just a regular election.  To me, last night symbolized the degree to which our residents honor and support our public schools.  In this time where some have chosen a simplistic “slash and burn” mentality toward public schools, I am proud to be a part of a community where people can collaborate and work toward a common purpose – giving our children a world class education.

Again, I wish to express my sincerest gratitude and thank everyone for their support of the Ridgefield Public Schools.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Jack
