On Oct. 31, 2025, NJSBA’s Legal Department released a new and improved version of its “Board Organization Frequently Asked Questions (2026).” This resource provides boards of education with important information about its annual organization meeting. It also provides newly elected and appointed board members with an understanding of what will occur before, during, and after the annual organization meeting. Newly elected and appointed board members are also encouraged to review “Post Election Information for New Board Members and Charter School Trustees.”
Moving forward, NJSBA’s Legal Department will issue updated “Board Organization Frequently Asked Questions” by mid-October of each year.
For further information about these matters, please contact the NJSBA Legal Department at (609) 278-5279, or your board attorney for specific legal advice.
