Government

Local government

Glen Ridge is governed under the borough form of government, with a mayor and a six-member borough council. The mayor is elected to serve a four-year term of office. Members of the borough council serve three-year terms, with two seats coming up for election each year. A Borough (sometimes spelled Boro on road signage) in the context of New Jersey local government refers to one of five types and one of twelve forms of municipal government. ...

The mayor of Glen Ridge is Peter A. Hughes. The members of the Glen Ridge borough council are:^[10] A mayor (from the Latin māior, meaning larger, greater) is the modern title of the highest ranking municipal officer. ...

• Arthur D. Dawson - Chair of the Public Works Committee
• Paul A. Lisovicz - Chair of the Parks & Recreation Committee
• Stuart K. Patrick - Chair of the Planning & Development Committee
• Linda Seyffarth - Chair of the Public Safety Committee

The Glen Ridge Civic Conference Committee (est. 1913), made up of delegates from the community and from local civic organizations, provides a non-partisan method of candidate selection for Borough elections. The CCC endorsement has been very influential; in some years, not a single local official won election without it. The eight organizations currently sending delegates to the CCC are: The Democratic Club, Freeman Gardens Association, Friends of the Glen Ridge Library, The Glen Ridge Historical Society, The Northside Association, The Republican Club, The Golden Circle, The South End Association and the Women's Club of Glen Ridge. Julio Pérez Ferrero Library - Cúcuta, Colombia A modern-style library in Chambéry A library is a collection of information, sources, resources, and services: it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, or a private individual. ...

In recent years, the CCC has been severely weakened both by changing attitudes in the town, the actions of a number of town residents, and internal problems within the CCC itself. The previous mayor, Carl Bergmanson, is the first mayor in the history of the CCC to win that office without the Committee's endorsement. A member of the council for three terms, he ran for mayor in 2000, losing to the CCC candidate Steven Plate. When Plate was appointed as the CCC candidate again in 2004 (violating the committee's precedent of one term per mayor), Bergmanson ran again, and won, gaining the majority in all but one of the town's districts. However, the CCC is still clearly in control of the town's political structure; generally, anti-CCC candidates will run as independents, and the Democratic and Republican parties are not forces in local elections.

History

Glen Ridge traces its beginning to 1666 when sixty-four Connecticut families led by Robert Treat bought land from the Lenni Lenape Native Americans and named it New Ark to reflect a covenant to worship freely without persecution. The territory included the future towns of Bloomfield, Montclair, Belleville and Nutley. When Bloomfield seceded in 1812, Glen Ridge was a section "on the hill" composed mostly of farms and woodlands with the exception of a thriving industrial area along the Toney's brook in the Glen. For most of the nineteenth century, three water-powered mills produced lumber, calico, pasteboard boxes and brass fittings. A copper mine and a sandstone quarry were nearby.

With the arrival of the Newark and Bloomfield Railroad in 1856 and the New York & Greenwood Lake Railway in 1872, Glen Ridge began its transition to a suburban residential community. Stately homes slowly replaced orchards and wooded fields.

Residents "on the hill" became unhappy with their representation on the Bloomfield Council. In spite of repeated requests to Bloomfield officials, roads remained unpaved, water and sewer systems were nonexistent, and schools were miles away. Area residents marked out the boundaries of a 1.45-square-mile (3.8 km²) area to secede from the adjoining town. At the February 12, 1895, election, the decision to secede passed by only twenty-three votes.

In 1989, athletes from the high school were involved in a brutal sexual assault of a mentally handicapped student with a baseball bat and a broom stick. The boys accused in the case were found guilty of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, and were given short prison and probation terms. The boys who were involved included twin brothers Kevin and Kyle Scherzer, brothers Paul and Chris Archer, Bryant Grober, and Richard Corcoran Jr. Others were present at the rape, but were not convicted because they did not participate. Author Bernard Lefkowitz wrote about the incident in Our Guys: The Glen Ridge Rape and the Secret Life of the Perfect Suburb. Lefkowitz's book was adapted into the 1999 TV movie Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge Bernard Lefkowitz, a native of New York, was an author, sociologist, journalist, and investgative reporter. ...

Education

The Glen Ridge Public Schools are highly-ranked in the state of New Jersey and a key attraction to new residents. The system consists of two elementary schools (Linden Avenue School and Forest Avenue School), an upper elementary School (Ridgewood Avenue School), and a high school (Glen Ridge High School). The Glen Ridge Public Schools are a comprehensive public school district serving students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade in Glen Ridge, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. ...

Forest Avenue School is an early childhood learning community serving the needs of over 250 children in grades pre-kindergarten through second.

Approximately 288 students attend the Linden Avenue Elementary School.

Ridgewood Avenue School houses students in grades 3-6. In addition to an academic curriculum in the major disciplines of language arts literacy, mathematics, social studies, and science, students are exposed to art, instrumental and vocal music, physical education, health, library skills and Spanish. Students in grades five and six are required to move through the stations of the Synergistics Lab, solving real world problems through the study of mathematics, science, and technology.

Glen Ridge High School houses students in grades 7-12. Excellence in academic preparation is valued in both the school and community cultures. Standardized test scores far exceed both the state and national averages. More than 98% of the graduates from the Class of 2004 went on to study at four or two year colleges and universities. The remaining graduates continue their education in trade or technical schools, or in the armed services, while others find employment. The Class of 2004 average SAT scores were 583 on the math section and 591 on the verbal section. (Compared to a New Jersey average of 514 math, 501 verbal and USA average of 518 math, 508 verbal.)

Property taxes

In order to fund its outstanding school system, Glen Ridge residents pay high property taxes, about $12,431 in 2003 for a home assessed at the Borough average. This has led to what one local columnist has dubbed "the Glen Ridge syndrome," whereby young families are enticed to move into town by the high quality of the school system (as realtors will often point out, you can deduct your local property taxes from your federal tax return, but not private school tuition), and then these same families are chased out of town by the tax bills immediately following the graduation of their youngest child from high school. It is not unheard of to see two lawn signs in the same yard, one congratulating the child for graduation, and the other announcing that the house is for sale. There was at least one in 2005.
