An Act concerning attendance at certain conventions by school board employees and amending N.J.S.18A:31-2.
Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. N.J.S.18A:31-2 is amended to read as follows:
18A:31-2. Whenever any full-time [teaching staff member] employee of any board of education of any local school district or regional school district or of a county vocational school [or any secretary, or office clerk] applies to the board of education by which he is employed for permission to attend the annual convention of the New Jersey Education Association, such permission shall be granted for a period of not more than two days in any one year and he shall receive his whole salary for the days of actual attendance upon the sessions of such convention upon filing with the secretary of the board a certificate of such attendance signed by the executive secretary of the association.

STATEMENT
This bill permits any full-time employee of a board of education of a local or regional school district or county vocational school to attend the annual convention of the New Jersey Education Association without loss of pay. Under current law, only full-time teaching staff members, secretaries, and office clerks may attend the convention without loss of pay.
School board employees other than teaching staff members are an integral part of the education family. Many are members of the association and, as such, should be afforded the opportunity to attend and participate in the annual convention of that association.
