Overview

UT Law’s 34th Annual School Law Conference is the definitive program for school administrators, school board members, education professionals, and the legal counsel who represent them. Presentations offer in-depth, practical discussion of the legal and regulatory issues affecting schools and school districts, and provide a must-have set of materials and resources. This year’s conference offers attendees the opportunity to:

  • Explore what Districts of Innovation mean for schools and teachers, and the impact local innovation plans can have on a district.
  • Examine the practical implications of the DOE’s recent determination that Texas violated the IDEA and the impact of the resulting corrective action plan.
  • Hear practical tips for Managing Student Protest Logistics and Dealing with Vexing Stakeholders.
  • Explore approaches in Behavioral Threat Assessment, and how those approaches seek to balance safety concerns with student rights
  • Learn what mandatory provisions may be missing from your contracts, including language concerning accessibility and data privacy.
  • Live attendees also earn a full 15.00 hours (including 3.00 hours of ethics) with supplemental on-demand programming.
And new this year, network with fellow school law practitioners at the Thursday Evening Reception.
