Parental Rights in Education
San Antonio: Christine Badillo & Leandra Costilla Ortiz
Fort Worth: Haley Turner & Laura Rodriguez McLean
Thursday, June 16th & June 30th @ 1:15-2:15PM
Ideally, parents and school districts are partners in creating the best education experience for a student. This presentation will focus on the rights of parents set out in state and federal laws in various circumstances, including student privacy, educational decisions, student welfare, and much more.
Supervision of One Employee: Practical Guidance for Trustees About the Board-Superintendent Relationship
San Antonio: Robb Decker and Melanie Charleston
Fort Worth: Joey Moore
Thursday, June 16th & June 30th @ 2:30-3:30PM
It is well established that the Board supervises only one employee—the Superintendent. A strong relationship between the Board and Superintendent is crucial to the success of the District. This presentation will focus on the legal and practical questions regarding hiring and evaluating the Superintendent, day-to-day relationship, and separation with Superintendents.
Can They Say That? Dos and Don’ts Regarding Political Speech of District Employees and Officials
San Antonio: Katie Payne & Morgan Beam
Fort Worth: Shellie Hoffman Crow and Craig Wood
Thursday, June 16th & June 30th @ 3:45-4:45PM
Election season can be intense, and at times, divisive. State and federal law about what employees and officials can and can’t say at school, on school time, or using school resources can be confusing—and saying the wrong thing can have consequences. This presentation will focus on best practices and legal issues related to political speech of district employees and officials.
Join us for TASSP's one-day conference June 14th in Austin, TX on current legal issues of particular concern to school administrators with the following presentations by Walsh Gallegos attorneys:
Three Hot Button Issues Any Principal Might Face | Jim Walsh
Every day administrators face issues that elicit strong opinions from their communities. Such issues include: curriculum challenges (CRT), requests to remove a book, and dress codes. Learn what issues you might face and strategies to handle them on your campus.
Business-Related Issues Every Principal Needs to Know About | Eddy Perez
While educating students is a principal’s main focus, there are many business-related issues that impact school administration. Eddy Perez will address common business-related matters that administrators need to know to run a successful campus.
Principal Leadership in Special Education | Eric Rodriguez
Principals are the leaders of their campuses, and leadership is critical in the special education realm. Successful special education departments have strong principals who support them in the implementation of special education programs. Eric Rodriguez will address the important role principals play in special education.
Be sure to attend TASPA's webinar on May 4th addressing employee mental health issues. Here's a sneak peak of what attorneys Melanie Gregg Charleston and Morgan Beam will be presenting:
Employee Mental Health Issues
There is no question that the past 24 months has put a significant toll on educators, and that prolonged period of stress may result in school employees suffering from mental health issues. Federal and state non-discrimination laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees with mental health conditions, but accommodating those with mental illness can sometimes be challenging in the school setting. Learn about what inquiries can (and can’t) be made regarding employee mental health conditions, and how to effectively, and legally, implement reasonable accommodations.
