Mandated Training
NJSBA offers two ways for board members to fulfill their state mandated training requirement: in-person and online 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 can fulfill their Governance II, III, and IV School District Accountability Act training requirements through specially designated Foundations for Success regional programs, at Workshop, and online. New board member may fulfill their training requirements through the weekend orientation program, in-person one-day programs, and online.
The following mandated training programs are required:
- Governance I: New Board Members – New Board Member Orientation Conference
- Governance II: 1st Term, 2nd full year of service – Finance
- Governance III: 1st Term, 3rd full year of service – Student Achievement
