Session 3: Bostock and Its Consequences for School Districts – Title VII…and Beyond? - Bostock is a landmark decision with clear consequences for every school district, as an employer, and its LGBTQ+ employees, but its reasoning has and will continue to impact the relationship between school districts and its LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ students. Explore Bostock’s important effects on Title VII and the TCHRA, including on the appropriate burden of proof to be applied, and on Title IX, including student-athlete and facilities issues.
Session 4: Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act: Judicial Updates and Other Developments - Passed in 1994 and amended in 2011 to add protections against a hostile workplace, USERRA can complicate otherwise permissible employment decisions.
