Join us as we address the rising cyber threats faced by K-12 schools in New Jersey. The webinar will cover the current security market landscape and trends, and provide insights into how schools can secure their districts and achieve cyber resilience. We’ll explore various topics such as MDR (24x7 SOC), Zero Trust, and Recovery, as well as Security Consulting and Red Team (ethical hackers/assessments) to help schools develop comprehensive security strategies to protect their networks, data, and students. This webinar is essential for boards of education, IT professionals, school administrators, and educators who are interested in improving their schools' cybersecurity and resilience.

Without a comprehensive approach to technology planning, implementation, and evaluation cycles, educational organizations run the risk of lacking a targeted vision that includes all proper stakeholders for long-term success.

In order to have seamless and properly budgeted technology refresh cycles, we must implement strategic critical assessments to identify and correct problem areas before they magnify.

Through SHI's assessment process, we will provide your organization with a differentiated execution plan that is tailored to your community's needs and academic instructional vision.

Funding for school districts constitutes one of the largest pots of money in every annual state budget, and Fiscal Year 2024 will be no exception. Join NJSBA governmental relations staff as they provide details on how the governor’s proposed budget for FY2024 will affect school districts. The presentation will include highlights on how the budget impacts existing programs and aid categories, as well as various new initiatives that would direct funds to schools.

As the state-designated provider of mandated training, the New Jersey School Boards Association is responsible for providing mandated training to board members and trustees. Training is available at no cost to members and provided in numerous ways, including in-person, live online and self-paced -- making it accessible to everyone who needs it. The State Board of Education’s recent introduction of a 90-day requirement for completion of the Governance I for new board members starts in April 2023. This means that all new board members must complete the mandated training within 90 days of taking office. This new requirement, initiated by the School Ethics Commission, is aimed at ensuring that all board members have up-to-date knowledge and understanding of their roles and responsibilities. You can find more information about the new requirements here. Join us on Wednesday, April 5, for a webinar explaining the changes and how it impacts boards of education throughout the state.

Synchronous online learning offers new dimensions for student connectivity–and asks educators to rethink the ‘how’ of facilitating inspiring peer relationships. Get strategies to help educators at your school or district empower online student relationships that matter.
