In 1914, the New Jersey Legislature authorized local boards of education to form a federation to “investigate such subjects relating to education in its various branches as it may think proper, and … encourage and aid all movements for the improvement of the educational affairs of New Jersey.” So began the New Jersey Federation of District Boards of Education, later renamed the New Jersey School Boards Association. 

NJSBA moved into its current location at 413 West State Street in 1985 after occupying two other buildings in the same neighborhood. By 2005, the need for enhanced services and member communication prompted discussion about the adequacy of the current headquarters. Therefore, in 2009, the existing building was subject to major renovation. NJSBA is currently seeking to remodel parts of the first-floor conference room of NJSBA headquarters located at 413 West State Street Trenton. 

Any technical questions relating to the specifications described herein should be directed to William Cobb, Manager Facilities & Support Services (609) 278-5259. Site inspections shall be arranged by calling to schedule an appointment prior to the final response date of this RFP.
