Topics

Responsive and Responsible Student Suspensions

Suspension of a student from school—which typically means removal of the student from ongoing instruction for adjustment purposes—involves teachers and administrators in an often-complex decision-making process.  This session focuses on the legal requirements governing the various circumstances under which a student may be suspended; other means of correction and suspension alternatives; how long a suspension may last; suspension procedural requirements; obligations to notify law enforcement; and suspension of general education students potentially eligible for special education.  In addition, we will offer practical investigative pointers that include a “to do” checklist, tips on conducting investigations, and more.

Say What? Legal Parameters of Student Free Speech

While public school students generally have the same First Amendment rights to freedom of speech as everyone else when they are at school and during school activities, there are certain limitations.  Historically, there are two aspects by which student speech is evaluated by courts when deciding whether to imposing these limitations: content and location.  Social media has exacerbated this complexity for the courts by introducing new and unique forms of communication and expression.  This session focuses on the constitutional and statutory framework of student speech, as well as delving in-depth into important case law decisions concerning a school’s ability to regulate (and thereby discipline) students for speech that takes place on-campus and off-campus. Plus, the session provides numerous practical pointers for educators when confronted with issues related to student speech and expression.

Legal Update

During the past 12 months, federal and state courts have issued several rulings addressing student issues in public schools.  Our 2023 Legal Update provides an overview of the some of the important cases decided during the past year—and why they matter to educators.  We also highlight recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, relevant administrative rulings, regulatory updates, new and pending legislation, and any late-developing news affecting students in California.

Targeted Questions and Answers

To wrap up the workshop, F3 attorneys field your inquiries on a variety of topics in a Q&A session.
