Training
Throughout the year, our legal and labor relations staff provides training and information through forums such as county school boards association meetings, NJSBA’s Annual School Law Forum, the state-required Governance I, II, III, and IV programs, and presentations at a wide range of programs sponsored by educational and legal organizations. Whether the topic is negotiations, the New Jersey School Ethics Act, the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights, the Open Public Meetings Act or the Open Public Records Act, the staff attorneys serve as excellent resources on the responsibilities of local boards of education and their members.
