Embattled NJ BOE Member Resigns With Bizarre Parting Words

The fight to recall Park Ridge Board of Education member Robert Fisher Jr. is officially over — because he just resigned, leaving behind a colorful resignation letter that took aim at politics and praised his own policy battles (attached).

Fisher, who joined the board in January 2023 just months after graduating high school, submitted his resignation Friday, Sept. 19, according to a filing his attorney Michael Collins sent to Bergen County Superior Court Judge Peter Geiger.

“I write today to resign my position as Trustee of the Park Ridge Board of Education, immensely grateful to God for the opportunity to serve our borough, a wonderful community in the greatest country on Earth,” Fisher wrote in his own letter of resignation sent out to the media Friday afternoon.

Throughout the statement, Fisher cited his “prized accomplishment” as requiring the district to comply with Title IX, which he said saved $100,000 annually in federal funding and ensured "every girl in our schools can excel in the sport they love participating in."
