The Power of Legal: A 6-Part Series of Practical Issues to Keep School Administrators Current & Compliant

NJASA has designed for 25-26 a 6-part series entitled The Power of Legal Information Series.  The NJASA Legal Department and other professional associates will focus upon current and critical legal issues facing school districts.  The goal is to attract members to attend by shortening the sessions to 60 minutes and provide focused, specific legal discussions.  To that end, NJASA has designed a comprehensive professional development series listed below.

 

All sessions will be virtual, via Zoom.  ACTIVE NJASA MEMBERS ATTEND SESSIONS AT NO COST.  NON-MEMBERS PAY $215 PER SESSION.
