Session 2: Special Education Update - Review a round-up of recent agency guidance—as well as administrative and judicial decisions—concerning special education with a focus on COVID-19 issues. Dive into topics including “long-COVID,” IEP implementation, and compensatory services.
Session 3: LGBTQIA+ Update - Analyze and untangle the web of issues relating to transgender students, including participation in UIL activities, proposed policies suggesting gender reassignment surgeries may be child abuse, student records and bathroom/locker room issues, and employment protections for openly gay teachers. With so much changing in the last year alone, this presentation discusses emerging case law, legislation, and regulations that affect LGBTQIA+ students and staff.
Session 4: “Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave”: Commissioner Jurisdiction after Davis, With a Little DOI and Charter Thrown In - Rarely does a school law case make it to the Texas Supreme Court and rarely is the topic so significant. This presentation analyzes Davis v. Morath & Dallas ISD, in which the Texas Supreme Court (perhaps) answered the question of what makes a grievance untimely and whether an untimely grievance deprives the Commissioner of appellate jurisdiction under Texas Education Code §7.057. As a bonus, this presentation also touches upon the Commissioner’s appellate jurisdiction related to districts of innovation and charter schools.
