The meeting is open to the public.

The agenda, to the extent known at this time, will include review and action on two resolutions which will come before the Annual Delegate Assembly on May 15. The resolutions that will be considered by the subcommittee are listed below by sponsor, including the topic.

Notice is also provided that the Emergency Resolutions Subcommittee may be required to meet on May 10 at a place to be determined if any resolutions are received by the Association to be considered as emergency resolutions for the Delegate Assembly agenda.

Glassboro (Gloucester County) The resolution requests that NJSBA policy be revised to allow districts to charge students domiciled in the district for remedial and/or advance classes taken during a summer school program.

South Plainfield (Middlesex County) The resolution proposes that NJSBA policy be revised to include that school districts are permitted to and may take whatever action they deem appropriate to protect their students from harassment, intimidation and/or bullying, even when there is an ongoing criminal investigation; and further, that such language should not be construed as authorizing school districts to interfere or intercede in any way with an ongoing criminal investigation involving district pupils.
