Board Member Election Reminders
Sep 25, 2024Each November (or April) the future of your district is redefined as school board candidates share their visions and ideas with your community. As a member of your school board, and more importantly as a parent or community member, you have a vested interest in that future – to ensure the continued success of your students. Whether as supporters and opponents, or as candidates yourselves, you must remember that the actions of current board members need to adhere to the Code of Ethics. N.J.S.A., 18A:12-24.1. With this school election season underway, we hope to provide guidance and answer common questions. For additional guidance, please consider reviewing resources available from the New Jersey School Board Association or previously released opinions by the School Ethics Commission.
