Webinars: Advocacy

Do you want to know what’s been happening at the State House over the last few months, and what may lie ahead? Join members of the NJSBA Governmental Relations staff to learn about the FY2023 state budget and various new education-related measures that have been recently signed into law by the Governor. Staff will also provide updates on noteworthy pending legislation affecting school districts and be available to answer questions from viewers.

If you want a healthy school climate, you must listen to students. Has your district thought about how it will welcome student board representatives, now required by law (N.J.S.A. 18A:12-1.3)? Have you determined how they will be selected, what they will do, and when to include them in discussions? Join superintendents and board members from districts who currently support student representatives to the school board to learn how these students can serve a vital role on your school safety team.

What new updates should board members be aware of when it comes to the ethical requirements for board member conduct? Join the NJSBA legal staff for a discussion about recent decisions regarding the School Ethics Act. Topics to be covered may include, but are not limited to, conflicts of interest, private action by board members, social media, and other hot topics under the Act.

NJSBA's Governmental Relations staff will provide an update on regulations and laws affecting education.
