NJSBA’s Legislative Committee: The Big Picture

NJSBA’s Legislative Committee: The Big Picture

NJSBA’s Legislative Committee met on Saturday to thank members for their years of service to the committee, and to discuss issues facing school districts as the state legislature comes back into session. Some of the major issues addressed by the committee included proposals to move the Annual School Election date, and the draft travel regulations recently issued by the New Jersey Department of Education. In coming months, the committee will rely on a grassroots strategy to reach out to state legislators. Board members who are interested in being a part of NJSBA’s Legislative Committee or the grassroots campaign can contact Ray Pinney, advocacy coordinator, at (888) 886-5722, ext. 5244, or by e-mail.
