This session, designed for attorneys unfamiliar with school law, will provide a basic understanding of the complex framework of federal and state statutes, regulations, and court decisions governing New Jersey's public schools. A panel of experienced school law practitioners will address student disciplinary matters, New Jersey's anti-bullying law, student privacy concerns, issues in divorce and separation, public access to meetings and district records, and the rights of students with disabilities.
