NJSBA is excited to announce the debut of a new monthly podcast called School Law Today on Friday, Feb. 3.
The 30-minute program, which will be aired live the first Friday of every month at 11:30 a.m., will tackle legal issues that confront school boards throughout the course of the year.
School Law Today will draw on the experience of attorneys with expertise in various areas of school law. The first five segments will focus on the code of ethics, cyberbullying, navigating the board through the referendum process, the courts and special education, and ways school boards can avoid litigation. While the programs will be aired live, they will also be archived so that listeners can access them at any time.
