Yesterday I shared about the New Jersey School Boards Association. New Jersey requires all school board members to take training courses, so that we have a knowledge foundation as we fulfill our duties. These courses cover topics such as policy, school finance, student achievement, labor relations and school law. These courses must be taken in the first, second and third years of a board member's first term in office. Then, in the first year of any re-elected or reappointed term, board members must take a course in school law updates. Apparently, no other elected officials in the state are required to take such training.
Training helps me be an informed school board member, and I have achieved the highest level of individual certification, "Certified Board Leader."
