General Session
Due Process: What
Every Educator Needs to Know
Want to avoid those explosive landmines in decision-making?
This session is a must to attend! An understanding of the purpose and
legal requirements surrounding the Response to Intervention process,
Section 504 requirements, discipline regulations and due process hearings
under IDEA 2004 is a must for school administrators, central office
administrators and staff members.
Issues and mistakes leading to non-compliance with regular
and special education policies that create challenging situations and
take time/energy away from educational initiatives will be discussed.
Based on relevant scenarios, participants will explore common legal
pitfalls.
