Beyond the Badge: Using Mobile Credentials to Strengthen School Access and Security
Tuesday, Oct. 6 @ 1 p.m.
Lost badges, temporary staff, contractors, after-hours programs, and emergency access can all create challenges for school security. This webinar will explore how K-12 districts can use mobile credentials to provide secure, flexible access through the smartphones staff already carry. Attendees will learn how mobile access can help districts issue and revoke credentials quickly, limit access by person, location and time, and improve visibility into who is entering district facilities.
This webinar will be livestreamed via Zoom and on NJSBA’s YouTube channel. Pre-registration is required to receive credit. Offers one (1) Board Member Academy credit. Register.

See It in Action: Age-Appropriate Cyber Awareness Training for Students and Staff
Tuesday, Oct. 13 @ 1 p.m.
Most cyber incidents in school districts don’t start with a sophisticated technical attack. They start with a convincing email, a fake login page, or a phone call to the front office. That makes the people in your buildings, from elementary classrooms to the business office, your most important line of defense. The training they receive needs to fit their role and age. In this live session, Aspire will walk through Aspire CyberIQ and show how districts use it to build lasting security habits across their school community.
You’ll see:
- Training that fits each role: how teachers, administrators, business office staff, and IT teams each get content tied to the risks they actually face
- Lessons built for students: grade-banded modules for elementary, middle, and high school that build digital safety skills alongside everyday technology use
- Realistic phishing practice: how simulated campaigns give staff a safe way to learn to spot and report suspicious messages, and how the results shape follow-up training
- Clear visibility for district leaders: completion tracking and reporting that support board updates, audits, and cyber-insurance requirements
- A simple path to getting started: what onboarding looks like for districts
