New Jersey's 2013 November school elections will take place on Tuesday, November 5.

Legislation signed by Gov. Christie in 2012 gives communities the option to change the date of the school board member elections from the third Tuesday in April to the General Election in November. Although the majority of school districts have changed to November school elections, please check with your local board of education office to confirm the date of the 2013 school election in your community.

For the convenience of candidates, NJSBA's Candidate Kit provides resources for anyone considering running for their local school board.
