County Association Programs
Explore Critical Issues

The county school boards associations’ evening programs will help board members meet their responsibilities in an era of change – with topics ranging from negotiations in difficult times, to the governor’s proposed “toolkit” of legislative changes to control local spending.

Besides hearing from experts at the state level, the county association programs provide board members the added value of a forum to share mutual concerns and to learn from colleagues.

Registration for all programs begins at 6:30 p.m., and the programs begin at 7 p.m. The registration deadline is the day before the event.

Camden/Gloucester: Tuesday, Sept. 7. Alternative energy sources. Clementon Elementary School.
