Criminal background check law leaves some school board members in limbo

Scores of school board members have missed the cutoff date for a new law requiring local school board members to undergo criminal background checks, leaving themselves — and to some degree their boards — in a kind of administrative limbo.

According to the state and the New Jersey School Boards Association, more than 300 out of nearly 5,300 board members and charter school trustees statewide did not meet the December 31 deadline to register and complete the background check. They have been stripped of their elected or appointed positions, as the law requires.  (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
