NJASA Legal Department Research Services - August 2022

School administrators are responsible for ensuring compliance with state and federal statutes and regulations that involve public school students and districts. One area of legal compliance is with statutes and regulations that require certain information to be posted on a school district’s website or that suggest that certain information be shared on a district’s website. This Administrative Guide dis­cusses the laws involving the posting of content on a school district’s website.

In addition, the August School News Briefs reviews three new cases including one in which the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division, held that settlement agreements of special education matters are subject to disclosure under OPRA.

The Impact on Negotiations reviews four new cases including one in which PERC affirmed dismissal of an unfair practice charge filed by a teaching staff member who claimed that she should have been provided with paid legal representation by the association in connection with a sexual harassment/healthy workplace environment investigation.
