Section 6A:28-1.1 - Scope and purpose

(a) The rules set forth in this chapter have been adopted for the purpose of effectuating the legislative intent of N.J.S.A. 18A:12-21 et seq., the School Ethics Act (P.L. 1991, c. 393), which seeks to ". . . ensure and preserve public confidence . . ." in the integrity of elected and appointed members of a district board of education, members of a board of trustees of a charter school or renaissance school project, and school administrators.

(b) To achieve this goal, the Legislature adopted N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24 and 18A:12-24.1, which prescribe ethical standards by which members of a district board of education, members of a board of trustees of a charter school or renaissance school project, and school administrators are to be guided in the conduct of their offices and positions. The School Ethics Act also created the School Ethics Commission, specifically for the purpose of enforcing the ethical standards through a procedure for reviewing complaints of ethical violations, investigating those complaints, and ultimately rendering recommendations to the Commissioner of Education, as to the imposition of sanctions when violations are established.
