Here we are knee deep in June, but I’m thinking about the start of school. How bout you? This year I will again traverse the Great State of Texas presenting the annual Back to School program—an all-day affair highlighting what busy school administrators need to know about the law. This year we have A LOT of new laws to talk about. On top of that, we will provide the annual review of important judicial decisions affecting special education, Section 504, personnel issues and all the rest.
I’m pleased to report that for three of the BTS presentations I will be joined by Sarah Orman, a senior attorney with the Texas Association of School Boards. Sarah will be able to provide the TASB perspective on new legislation. TASB staff will be updating your school policies over the summer and Sarah will be able to give us the scoop on new policies and their practical implications.
Personal note: it’s a particular treat for me to have Ms. Orman join me on these presentations. As many of you already know, her name used to be Sarah Walsh. She’s my Firstborn Child, and now, besides being an excellent lawyer and presenter, the mother of the Most Amazing Grandchildren Ever.
