The New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) is a non-partisan, state-created federation of boards of education founded in 1914. It provides mandated governance training to the board of education members representing 580 public school districts and the trustees representing the majority of the state’s charter schools.

The Trenton, N.J.-based group has a full-time professional staff, deemed school officials as defined by the state School Ethics Commission. The NJSBA delivers direct services, professional learning, advocacy and resources to school boards across the state to advance public education and promote the achievement of all students.

The NJSBA serves as a one-stop-shop for public school boards concerning policy, news and information, legal and labor relations resources and services specifically geared for elected and appointed local board of education officers.

The Association offers its members unparalleled service so they can positively support the education of New Jersey’s 1.4 million public school students.
