Prospective school board candidates can download candidate information from the New Jersey School Boards Association’s web site at NJSBA School Board Candidate Kit. The School Board Candidate Kit includes information about nominating petitions, legal qualifications for school board candidacy, and the role of the school board member. Information about the New Jersey School Ethics Act and important dates in the school election process are also included.
One of the most meaningful contributions that citizens can make to their community is serving on the local board of education,” said Karen Cortellino, M.D, New Jersey School Boards Association president. “I encourage all interested citizens to consider school board membership. School board elections are non-partisan and service does not require a background in education. However, it does require a sincere interest in the community, its children, and their education.”
