School Law Boot Camp (2)

In our highly-regulated, litigation-crazy world, school administrators face more legal challenges than ever before. Charter schools are subject to volumes of federal and state statutes, regulations, and caselaw precedent. But, with everything that’s going on in today’s schools, who has time to keep up? We get it. That’s why we created this highly-concentrated, super-intensive (but still really fun) training for charter school administrators. This training was designed for those administrators who feel they need a law degree just to keep up but generally don’t even have time for lunch… We’ve got you covered.

Training Topics

• STUDENT DISCIPLINE ISSUES – a look at the latest trends in caselaw
• EMPLOYEE INVESTIGATIONS – how to be efficient and legally-defensible
• TECHNOLOGY IN SCHOOLS – what’s causing trouble and how to fix it
• SPECIAL EDUCATION ESSENTIALS – what administrators really need to know about educating students with disabilities
• STUDENT HEALTH ISSUES – when do we need a nurse and other common questions
• TRUANCY AND OTHER TROUBLESOME TOPICS – mandatory attendance requirements and other pesky issues
• Q&A – Got questions? Specific issues weighing on your mind? Come prepared to ask!
