Program Information:
From swim teams to middle school musicals and everything in between, public schools offer wide varieties of extracurricular activities and field trip opportunities, but what are their legal obligations regarding accommodating students with disabilities at these events/trips, and are today's schools really doing enough? In this session, Erin D. Gilsbach, Esq., a school attorney who provides professional development to educators, school leaders, and school attorneys nationwide, provides an in-depth analysis of this issue. Using recent cases from across the nation to provide an expansive study of the topic, Atty. Gilsbach answers some of the most prominent and sometimes puzzling questions: Can/should schools provide different accommodations for events/trips than what they provide for a student during the school day? When do schools need to have a nurse present? Who is authorized to administer medication? Can school nurses practice nursing across state lines? Can volunteers with nursing licenses pride nursing functions? Can schools require parents to of disabilities to attend such trips/events? What happens when a school and a students physician disagree about the student's ability to participate in a particular activity? What obligations do schools have to implement Section 504 plans at sporadic/irregular events like dances, concerts, and sporting events? In a lively and interactive session that is as fun as it is informative, Atty. Gilsbach answers these questions and more using advanced visual technology, helpful charts and infographics, and invaluable written reference materials.
