The Council of School Board Attorneys' (CSBA) Annual Seminar on School Law will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at the MSBA Building in Ridgeland, MS.

The CSBA Annual Seminar has been a regular annual event for many of the state’s school board attorneys. It is essential to stay on top of issues that could potentially pose threats to your school district client, which is one of the reasons why the CSBA Seminar on School Law is the “go-to” resource for staying up-to-date on school legal matters. 

This year, topics will include:

  • What's Happening with Federal Law? Title IX, Employee Religious Speech, Special Education, FERPA, and Sexual Harassment
  • COSA / NSBA Update
  • What's New with Policy & Legislation?
  • Writing Effective Contracts
  • Best Practices to Avoid Liability
  • How's That Working For You? Staff & Student Matters Related to Medical Marijuana / THC 
  • Understanding Mississippi Ethics Laws
  • Pardon Me, What Did You Say? Student & Employee Freedom of Speech on Social Media


CREDIT HOURS
Attorneys can earn up to six (6) hours credit and one (1) hour of Ethics by remaining until the seminar adjourns. 

Board Members can earn up to seven (7) hours of credit (4 hours for attending the morning session and/or 3 hours for attending the afternoon session).
