I thought you might find it interesting to see the types of school legislation which are constantly being proposed in Trenton. Dr. Fishbein regularly receives this update from the NJASA (New Jersey Association of School Administrators) and forwards to Board members and administrators:
On February 11, 2010 the following bills were introduced in the Senate and Assembly. Pay particular attention to bills S-1398, A-2142, A-2143, A-2157, A-2186 and A-2235. If you would like to read explanations of these particular bills, post a comment and I'll add the explanations. (They're pretty long to include here.)
