I am part of a team which recently launched the beta site for NJSchoolBizBuz.com. It is an online community for New Jersey school business officials.. The site is designed to help school business officials connect with others in the state. The site is a place where school business officials share best practices, lessons learned and any other advice with other school officials. And they can ask questions of school officials, vendors, consultants and other subject matter experts..
The site includes a blog where NJ School Biz Buzz bloggers will write articles. There is a forum where school officials can offer advice or ask questions. The site will also include a listing of vendors. And a section where school officials can post RFPs. The idea is that school officials and vendors can have one central location to get the information they need to obtain and sell their services.
NJSchoolBizBuzz also has a Resource section which will contain important links to other sites, as well as, documents and templates that school officials can use. The Articles section is a news feed of articles related to the topic of education in New Jersey from news agencies and associations.
The site is in the early stages. Since it is an online community it will take time for the site to grow and develop. The seeds have been planted.
