February is a critical time in the school budget development process. To help districts prepare, the New Jersey School Boards Association is offering its second annual School Finance Conference on Thursday, Feb. 21. The program will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (registration begins at 8:30 a.m.) at the Conference Center at Mercer, 1200 Old Trenton Rd., West Windsor, N.J. 08550.
