How Well Do You Know the Delegate Assembly

The Delegate Assembly, the Association’s major policy-setting body, meets twice a year to determine NJSBA’s policy positions on educational issues. Those policies become what NJSBA staff will fight for, or against, in Trenton, Washington, D.C., the courts, and the court of public opinion. Over the years, the DA has impacted state educational policy on a number of issues.

Question: Which one of the policies below was not adopted by past Delegate Assemblies?

  1. supporting the ability of a school board to require random drug testing of students

  2. supporting regionalization of school districts, if approved locally and if studies demonstrate benefits

  3. supporting a school board’s ability to require parental participation in parent-teacher organizations.

Be part of the policy-making! Each school district may send one member to the Delegate Assembly; the next DA will be held November 22.

Answer: C: Such a policy has never been proposed. A and B were approved by the DA.
