Mandated Training

New Jersey state law requires school board members and charter school trustees to attend training in the first, second and third years of a first term, and in the first year of a re-elected or reappointed term. NJSBA is the state-designated provider of Mandated Training, which is available at no cost to members. Board members may fulfill their requirement with in-person or online training. Completion of either course satisfies the requirements of the School District Accountability Act.
