Attorney of the Day
An NJSBA staff attorney is available at 1-609-278-5279 to provide legal information to board members, school administrators, member charter school board trustees, and AMPSA members.
Topical School Law Resources
NJSBA’s staff attorneys provide information on the Annual School Election, the School Ethics Commission’s decisions and opinions, and school governance through FAQs, reports, and outlines. NJSBA’s Index to School Law Decisions is also included as a resource.
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.
Amicus Curiae
NJSBA participates as amicus curiae, or “friend of the court,” in cases of statewide significance to local school districts.
