Announcing New Cybersecurity Solutions through the NJSBA Cooperative Pricing System

The New Jersey School Boards Association recently awarded five new contracts for technology and cybersecurity on its cooperative pricing system through a comprehensive RFP and competitive bidding process.

The new inclusions offer cost savings and support for districts and member charter schools on cybersecurity training, consulting, network, endpoint, and cloud solutions, cloud services and management, and access control and alarm systems. 

NJSBA membership entitles New Jersey school districts and charter school members to take advantage of NJSBA’s Cooperative Pricing System, which streamlines procurement, offers cost-savings and eliminates the competitive bidding process.
