“I am extremely saddened to hear the news of Regent Judith Johnson’s passing. A tireless advocate for education and equality, she has made an indelible impact on not only on our community, but the entire State. Regent Johnson changed the lives of countless students throughout her lifetime career in education and we were incredibly lucky to have her as our representative. I feel privileged to have been able to work alongside her, especially in the fight for educational equity for the students of East Ramapo. We have lost a champion and fearless fighter for education in the Lower Hudson Valley. I extend my deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the entire education community.”
