| Annual School Communications Competition |
NJSBA has been receiving many calls concerning our Annual School Communications Competition. Due to budget constraints this year, the competition was eliminated. However, since many school districts look forward to entering the competition, we will consider holding it again next year. If so, entry forms will be sent to all districts in March as well as being posted on our Web site. Click here for our home page.
If you have questions concerning the competition or wish to become a co-sponsor, contact Josephine A. Kane at jkane@njsba.org, or 1-888-886-5722, extension 5242. |
