TOMORROW -- STILL TIME TO SIGN UP!
School
Bullying: How to Build a Bully-Free Campus and Staff TOMORROW!
September 12, 2012 @ 1 PM (ET)
Every year approximately 30% of U.S. students are involved in
school bullying, either as a target or as a bully, or both. Furthermore,
adults who are working in school systems often find themselves being
bullied by parents, staff, teachers, principals, and administrators. And
just like student bullying, this behavior causes emotional harm and reduced
work performance which can undermine the learning environment for students.
Please join us as we take you through the process of developing effective
strategies and a step-by-step plan for training, reporting, investigating,
and providing a bully-free environment not just for your students but also
for your teachers and staff.

Managing
Disabilities in the School and University Setting: How New ADAAA
Requirements Affect Section 504
September 19, 2012 @
1 PM (ET)
Recent amendments to the ADA and Rehabilitation Act will make it easier for
students and their watchful parents and guardians seeking protection under
the ADA to establish a disability and obtain protections and accommodations
under Section 504. The penalties for not being in compliance can be
substantial, and the risks come from both the government as well as
watchful parents and guardians. Please join us for a clear overview of the
Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) and accompanying
regulations, as well as for a review of special education under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In addition we will
also provide specific instruction to K-12 school and university administrators
on their obligations under the new laws and regulations.

H-1B visa process and the current situation with respect to H-1B visa

sponsorship. Please join us as we guide you step-by-step through the

international students are likely to be asking.
The
Use of Social Media by Schools, Students and Staff: Know the Risks and How
to Reduce Your Potential Liability
October 17, 2012 @ 1 PM (ET)
The use of social media in schools is an evolving area that brings into
play various state and federal laws and regulations. From conducting social
media background checks on prospective employees to disciplining students
for activity on- and off-campus on social media sites, the use of
technology has changed the way people work and communicate. Please join us
as we guide you through the potential problem areas when social media
is used by schools, students, and staff, as well as precautions that
schools must take to avoid violating the rights of students and staff communicating
in this manner.
How
to Write an Effective Anti-Harassment Policy and Related Procedures to
Include
October 24, 2012 @ 1
PM (ET)
Whether harassment happens on campus, in the classroom and halls, or
somewhere else -- you may still have a legal liability and an ethical responsibility
to investigate harassment claims. Failure to respond in a timely manner can
often expose the institution not only to potential legal liability, but can
also lead to the escalation in the level of harassment. In this type of
climate faculty and administrators need to be proactive, and the first step
is an effective anti-harassment policy that is reviewed and updated
regularly. Please join us as we offer guidance on what you should and
shouldn't include in your school anti-harassment policy and provide
important step-by-step guidance for how to respond to the harassment
complaints you will inevitably receive.
Constitutional
Protections of Employees During Misconduct Investigations
November 1, 2012 @ 1 PM (ET)
Investigations of employee misconduct by school officials can be
complicated and involve constitutional protections that are not available
to private sector employees. The school official who is not aware of these
constitutional protections before beginning an investigation may run the
risk of jeopardizing the investigation and could possibly even be
undermining a related investigation by law enforcement. Please join us as
we take you through the underlying case law and offer school administrators
practical, step-by-step guidance for conducting an effective employee investigation
without violating the constitutional rights of the employee being
investigated.
Exempt
or Non-Exempt Educator and Administrator Classification: How to Make Sure
You're in Compliance with FLSA Requirements STAY IN
COMPLIANCE!
November 7, 2012 @ 1 PM (ET)
The Department of Labor (DOL) has begun a crackdown against all employers
-- including schools and universities -- for improper classification of
workers as exempt when the employee is actually non-exempt under the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The risk of getting the classification decision
wrong concerns not only the DOL but also possible employee litigation.
Please join us as we show you step-by-step how to determine when your
teachers, faculty, and administrators are exempt or non-exempt based on
FLSA requirements.
