After a very successful Workshop 2024, it's time to return to Essex County SBA's business. We eagerly await the second Essex County SBA meeting of the 2024-2025 school year, focusing on the crucial topic of "AI: Embracing the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Education`` and ``Best Practices for Social and Emotional Learning``.

Attendees can participate in both topics. The AI program will offer a comprehensive overview of AI: Artificial Intelligence. It will explore its various applications and address the potential benefits and challenges in how our school districts function and students work. The SEL program will address the critical role of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in fostering a supportive and resilient school environment for students and staff, especially during challenging times.

The meeting will include reports from the Essex County SBA Executive Committee Members, a Field Service team update, recognition of all retiring board of education members from Essex County, and much more!

We warmly invite all Board of Education Members, Superintendents, and Business Administrators from across New Jersey to participate in person at the Newark Vocational High School or virtually. We are also very excited that all newly elected Board of Education members elected in the November 2024 elections will be able to participate. Your presence and insights at this important event are not just appreciated but integral to its success.
