As the summer temperatures begin to wind down to cool autumn breezes in the mid 90s, it’s that time of year again – back to school! Our attorneys spent the summer providing legal trainings to school districts to ensure a smooth and successful academic year. These trainings included topics such as Student Rights and FERPA, Addressing Transgender Issues, Special Education, Student Suicide, Effective Documentation, Legislative Update, and many more. These trainings were designed to assist teachers and administrators of all levels when facing an array of legal issues that require careful navigation.
One of the primary benefits of legal training for schools is ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws. School administrators and staff must be aware of their legal obligations, including anti-discrimination laws, special education regulations, and student privacy rights. By knowing the legal framework that protects students, schools can create a safe and inclusive learning environment.
We hope that these trainings served both as a refresher and new teachings on how to deal with complicated situations. As they embrace the challenges and opportunities of a new academic year, our districts are staying informed and prepared. Should you have any questions or concerns on how to manage a legal matter, always remember we are here to help!
