It All Starts with a Wellness Check

If your district policy manual needs review, repair or even a complete overhaul, NJSBA can help. Call us for a complimentary policy manual “Wellness Check.” We’ll conduct a quick assessment to determine if your policy manual is complete and evaluate its overall quality.

 Following our wellness check, we will recommend next steps for updating your policy manual. If your manual needs significant revisions or a total rewrite consider using our customized policy manual writing service.

Times are tough. If your district is still using a policy writing service that charges an annual fee for policy updates, it’s time to convert your manual to NJSBA’s file code system. NJSBA’s affordable, Customized Policy Writing Service includes free update alert emails as new policies

become available. Our file code system makes it easy to access and use our dues-based policy services, including our Critical Policy Reference Manual (CPRM).

NJSBA will evaluate all manuals. All existing policies and legal references will be reviewed to determine those in need of updating. Additionally, manuals will be evaluated to ensure they contain the 200 plus state and federally mandated policies.

Other benefits of our Customized Policy Writing Service include:

• File Code System - To ensure easy access to and use of NJSBA’s general policy services, manuals will be codified with the NJSBA codification system.
• Manual Updating - All outdated policies, regulations and legal references will be reviewed and updated for compliance with federal and state statute and code.
• New Policies- If your manual is missing any policies that are mandated by federal or state statutes or code, the NJSBA will write new policies to keep you compliant.
• Preserving History- NJSBA will retain your policy history as well as preserve your policy and regulation content that is specific to your district.
• No Hidden or Future Cost- NJSBA offers three levels of service to fit your district’s needs. There is no annual subscription or maintenance fee once services are rendered.
• FREE Updates – Policy consultants e-mail free, standard policy updates as they become available. Updates are also available free on the password protected area of the NJSBA Website. Policy consultants are available to instruct on using these updates. Competitor policy writing services charge a fee for policy updates.
• Experience – Over 95 years of experience providing policy services to boards of education.
• Expertise – Policy services are backed by our Legal, Policy and Labor Relations professional services.

The end result is a policy manual that communicates your board’s vision, goals and expectations for your district.
