 No members of the Brooklawn Board of Education (BOE) will be attending the annual New Jersey School Board Convention in Atlantic City this fall because of a new state law that affects all school districts.

\”There is a cap on how much the Board of Education is permitted to spend for a room for its board members to attend conventions and other things,\” Board Solicitor Lenny Wood said during last week\’s BOE meeting.

Wood said that, by law, the BOE is only allowed to pay $117 per room, and each board member would have to pay the difference. Wood also said this law is \”totally wrong.\”
