Class Act: Updates in Education Law
·
As most school administrators know, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act requires districts to immediately enroll students who are experiencing homelessness to ensure educational continuity and minimize disruption to learning. But what happens when a district is not sure whether a student meets the definition of homelessness? And what are the next steps if the family doesn't agree about which school the student should attend? Whose obligation is transportation and does it matter how far away the school is located? Join Christina, Lisa, and Miriam, as we discuss the history and basics of McKinney-Vento and touch upon some of the challenges that schools face in implementing this important federal law.

Season Six Episode Four: Your Top FERPA Questions
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act seems pretty straightforward: Maintain confidentiality and produce records to parents or adult students. But what happens when a record, like a video, includes information about more than just one student? What is the procedure when the requesting party is an attorney or a police officer? What about parents who want to observe their children's in-person or virtual classes? Join Christina, Lisa, and Miriam as we discuss your top FERPA questions and consider how school districts across the country are addressing challenging situations that may implicate student privacy rights.
