The Legal Basis of Student Management

April 25, 2025, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

With a practical and fresh approach, this course will use real-life discussions about the legal issues that the principal encounters on a regular basis, including: trends in the case law; updates on legislative changes; behavioral interventions and school safety; and Special Education/Section 504. By using up-to-date trends in school law, filtered through the lens of experienced school attorneys, you will walk away with a renewed clarity about your legal obligations – and the confidence to keep focused on ensuring your school's actions are legal, efficient, and effective!
