We Need You!
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Have you ever wondered how the decisions are made for our school? Do you dream about making a difference for our students?
Then please consider becoming a member of our Board of Education! We currently have two seats open on the Board, one of which is waiting for you!
What does it take to be a Board member?
• Be able to read and write
• Hold U.S. citizenship and one year’s residency in the school district
• Be registered to vote in the district before filing the nominating petition
• Have no interest in any contract with, or claim against, the board
• Not hold office as mayor or member of the municipal governing body or, in the case of county school districts, the county governing body
• Not simultaneously hold two elective offices
• Not be disqualified from membership for the conviction of certain crimes. (Within 30 days of election or appointment to the board, a member must undergo a criminal history background investigation through the state Department of Education).
What about the time commitment?
The Board of Education meets twice monthly on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Meetings last approximately 90 minutes.
There is also a training requirement for Board members to support your service.
If you are interested in becoming a Board of Education member, please contact the School Business Administrator at sba@southboundbrookk8.org.
You can find further information at the NJSBA website.
Please consider this opportunity to become an important part of our school community!
Thank you!
