Nov. 5, 2013 - COSA Webinar Special Ed. Session 1: Resolving Special Education Disputes
Join us for this Council of School Attorneys (COSA) webinar. If the school district's attorney is being consulted about a student or is attending IEP meetings, it is likely that there is a significant dispute over the student's education and that the matter is headed for litigation. Litigation will mean great expense to the school district and, especially, a great commitment of staff time. An experienced special education attorney will discuss amicable measures that school districts can take to resolve disputes and avoid a contentious due process hearing. Register now for the Special Ed. series or per webinar.collaboration with law enforcement certainly serves important school and community interests, but it must be done without violating students' statutory, civil, and constitutional rights. The school attorney facilitates those relationships, and protects the district's interests, by advising on effective and clear MOUs, chains of command, and protocols. Join Connecticut school attorney and COSA board member Anne Littlefield for a practical overview of the legal standards that affect the school-law enforcement relationship. Anne will discuss FERPA issues such as police access to school surveillance video, questioning students after recent Supreme Court and state level decisions, search and seizure dynamics, the role of the SRO, and much more. Come with your questions!
