CRESC_Unlocking the Legal Side of Teaching

Are you confident you know what you can and cannot do in a public school? From student speech to classroom prayers, dress codes to special education, the law touches almost every decision that teachers and administrators make. One misstep can lead to complaints, lawsuits, or conflicts—but this workshop will help you stay ahead of the pitfalls.

In just one day, you’ll learn how to:
• Navigate student and teacher free speech rights without crossing the line
• Handle dress codes and grooming policies legally and fairly
• Protect yourself from negligence claims and minimize liability
• Conduct searches and confiscations appropriately
• Teach and manage religion in public schools safely
• Respond to curriculum controversies and contested books
• Support students under Special Education & Section 504 with confidence

Why attend?
You’ll leave with practical, actionable knowledge, real-life case examples, and strategies you can apply
immediately—so you can focus on teaching, not worrying about lawsuits.

Who should attend:
Teachers, principals, administrators, and school leaders who are ready to make informed decisions and stay legally
safe in their schools.
