NJSBA Needs You

Do you want to help shape NJSBA’s legislative agenda and advocacy action plan?

If so, there are several openings left on NJSBA’s Legislative Committee for board members who want to volunteer their time to communicate with state and federal lawmakers about critical issues to New Jersey’s school districts.

The committee meets approximately six times a year to review and to adopt positions on state legislative proposals affecting boards of education. The committee also is responsible for promoting grassroots advocacy networks on local, county and state levels.

Committee members are an important part of these networks and are often called upon to testify at hearings before the Legislature and the New Jersey Board of Education.

NJSBA needs your support more than ever as it tackles tough issues like school regionalization, property tax reform, administrative cost caps, and unfunded mandates.

Members are needed in District 4 – parts of Camden and Gloucester counties; District 9 – parts of Atlantic and Ocean counties; District 16 – parts of Somerset and Morris counties; District 19 – Middlesex County; and District 27 – Essex County. 

Alternate members are needed in District 6 – Camden County; District 9 – parts of Atlantic and Ocean counties; District 10 – parts of Ocean and Monmouth counties; District 15 – Mercer County; District 16 – parts of Somerset and Morris counties; District 17 – parts of Middlesex and Somerset counties; District 27 – Essex County; District 31 – Hudson County; and District 34 – Essex County.
