Due to changes in insurance requirements, NJMEA had to acquire a new General Liability Policy that includes Sexual Abuse and Molestation coverage. The Policy includes requirements for all our members that have student contact on behalf of NJMEA, our Regions, and our Affiliated organizations when sponsoring an NJMEA activity. These requirements include Criminal Background Checks, Sexual Abuse Registry Checks, and Abuse Training. These will need to be completed before any volunteer can participate in Region or All-State activities.
If you are planning to sponsor students for our auditions. Please fill out the google form attached. This form will be cross referenced with the director jotform before auditions. The NEW background check will be sent to you through the email provided approximately 2 weeks before the auditions.
NJSMA Director Background Checks Here are a few reminders of our NJSMA guidelines for auditions. 1. The students must be an active member of their school music program.2. The music director must have an active NAFME membership to sponsor. 3. The music director must fill out all required paperwork and submit the audition fees4. The music director can send a substitute, which should be a qualified music educator with a current NAFME membership to the audition as a substitute. 5. The Substitute CANNOT be sponsoring other students from different schools. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
All the best,Anthony Lanzerotti, Jr.President NJSMA
