This winter, NJSBA’s county school boards association meetings will be held virtually due to possible inclement weather.
The meetings will include the content-rich programming that are a hallmark of county school boards associations.
Members will hear updates from executive county superintendents and NJSBA staff members, speak with state legislators, and share ideas and best practices with each other.
Among the topics that will be discussed at meetings throughout the winter:
- The board’s role in student achievement and curriculum.
- School district budgets and finance.
- NJSBA resources.
- How to promote your district.
- Roundtable discussions on timely topics.
- For more information on meeting topics, please visit the County School Boards Associations page on the NJSBA website.
Board members are welcome to attend meetings in any county — not just their home county.
New Jersey’s 21 county school boards associations offer training, information and forums to explore the issues facing public school districts.
