Join us for a new episode of this popular webinar series. Members of the NJSBA’s legal team will provide a timely overview of the most recent legal decisions posted by the Commissioner of Education and the School Ethics Commission concerning education law.

Most cyber incidents in school districts don’t start with a sophisticated technical attack. They start with a convincing email, a fake login page, or a phone call to the front office. That makes the people in your buildings, from elementary classrooms to the business office, your most important line of defense. The training they receive needs to fit their role and age. In this live session, Aspire will walk through Aspire CyberIQ and show how districts use it to build lasting security habits across their school community.

The NJSBA has released its most recent quarterly update of critical policies for school districts and charter schools. This update includes the most up-to-date information on policies such as:

• Religious Belief Opt-out
• Requirement for Cursive Instruction
• Website Accessibility
• School Meals Notification
• Home Instruction Update
• Internet-Enabled Devices

Join the NJSBA Policy team as it discusses this most recent round of updates.

Lost badges, temporary staff, contractors, after-hours programs, and emergency access can all create challenges for school security. This webinar will explore how K-12 districts can use mobile credentials to provide secure, flexible access through the smartphones staff already carry. Attendees will learn how mobile access can help districts issue and revoke credentials quickly, limit access by person, location and time, and improve visibility into who is entering district facilities.

NJSBA is presenting a webinar on the structure and responsibilities of local school boards in New Jersey.

Members of the NJSBA’s legal team will provide a timely overview of the most recent legal decisions posted by the Commissioner of Education and the School Ethics Commission concerning education law. If you are interested in learning about the latest developments in education law, grab a cup of coffee and join us as we informally discuss the facts from the most relevant cases, the determinations rendered, and how those decisions may implicate the service of board members and/or administrators.

The session will assist in planning for the upcoming school year by focusing on policy development and identification of priorities that move the district closer to its vision and mission. The session will include defining roles and accountability through the creation of District & Board Goals, the cycle of goal setting, and reflecting on accomplishments and challenges, identifying the most critical 3-5 needs, and creating action plans to map guiding the pathway of how the district will achieve its goals. The importance of aligning time, talent, and resources to the district’s vision and mission will be a focal point of the session.

The NJSBA Policy staff will cover recent updates to the rules for home instruction, epilepsy training, student mental health referrals and others.

Registered members of the Associate Membership Program for School Attorneys (AMPSA) may also earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, making this series a valuable professional development opportunity for licensed New Jersey attorneys. Each webinar features new content to ensure attendees remain up to date on the latest legal decisions and trends impacting education in New Jersey.
