Established in 1914, the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) is a federation of all of the state's local boards of education. The 4,800 local board members who comprise our membership are the largest group of elected and appointed public officials in New Jersey. The Association provides training and technical assistance to these members, all of whom serve without compensation. In addition, the Association advocates the education, health, and safety interests of New Jersey's public school students and school districts. Local board of education members are the Association's core member group. However, NJSBA extends the privilege of associate membership to individuals and organizations whose work or interests address the concerns and mission of the Association.
