Leading the Way: Jersey City's Governance Model for Urban School District Success Join the Jersey City School District's leadership team, including members of the Board of Education, the Superintendent, and the School Business Administrator, for a collaborative session on effective governance in a large, urban school system. As New Jersey's second-largest school district, Jersey City faces unique challenges and opportunities that require a strong, unified leadership approach. The Jersey City team will share its governance framework, focusing on the critical interplay between: Administration and Board Communication: Learn how our leadership team fosters clear, consistent, and proactive communication to ensure alignment and drive sound policy-making. Defining Roles for Teamwork: Gain insight into how a clear understanding of each role's responsibilities—from policy to operations to fiscal management—reduces friction and allows us to operate at our highest level. Achieving District-Wide Goals: Discover how our collaborative model has been instrumental in driving student achievement while maintaining fiscal responsibility and operational efficiency. We will offer a candid look at the challenges we've overcome and the strategies that have led to our successes. This is an opportunity to learn from our experience and gain practical takeaways for your own district.
