At some point, virtually every school district will experience a loss or tragedy. While school counselors are effective in handling such situations, districts should know there are additional community resources available to them. The July/August issue of School Leader highlights such resources in the cover article, “A Safety Net of Support.”

Also featured in the issue is an interview with NJSBA’s new president, Harry J. Delgado. Curt Wary, director of Labor Relations for NJSBA, describes some of the most effective strategies for negotiating during tight financial times in his article, “Redefining the Bargaining Environment.” This edition also shines a spotlight on the 13 programs that earned the 2008 Innovations in Special Education awards. It provides a preview of Workshop 2008 to be held in October in Atlantic City, and it features articles on policy and board member travel regulations.
