NCASA School Law Symposium





NCASA School Law Symposium

September 23-24
Sheraton Raleigh Hotel


Join NCASA for the premier school law professional development event for school administrators in North Carolina. Space is limited - register today!

The NCASA School Law Symposium is the best place for school administrators, from the director of child nutrition to superintendent, to learn from experts in the field of education law.

From the time Moses received the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai, the law has been a part of the lives of human beings. The first five books of the Bible contain the rules to live by to ensure that people lived up to the standards of the Ten Commandments. Failing to follow these laws could have serious implications, including death.

Death is not a consequence of failing to follow the laws that govern public education today, but serious issues are created for school administrators when the law is not followed. Wise school administrators make sure they know everything they can about education law so they can prevent the difficulties that arise when someone fails to follow the law.

Secure your spot early to take advantage of the discounted registration rate of $150, which ends August 15. Hotel reservations may be made through NCASA's room block at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel.Visit www.ncasa.net for complete registration and hotel information.

Topics include:

  • Political Speech in the Schools
  • New Legal Tools to Combat Cyberbullying in the Schools
  • Happy Holidays: What Can You Say/Do in Public Schools?
  • Legal Issues and Questions Under the New Student Discipline Laws
  • The Powers and Duties of Principals: Understanding and Implementing Them; Recent Changes
