In an increasingly litigious world, legal issues affecting the organization and function of the local school and school system have become an increasing concern for teachers, school and central office administrators and attorneys, school board members, and the public. For example,the use of disciplinary procedures in controlling students is an issue that causes great frustration for school boards and school law professionals. In addition, changes in federal and state legislation sometimes add to the confusion of protecting student and employee rights.

The Louisiana Tech University College of Education helps clear up some of the confusion with its School Law Institute. Intended for an entire host of school administrators, The School Law Institute provides intensive two-day, 11-hour presentations on current legal issues in education. You can be confident when you leave The School Law Institute that you will be up-to-date on the legal challenges facing the contemporary educator in Louisiana and America.
