Bring your toughest special education compliance questions and get answers for the real situations you face today — directly from Jeremy Neff, a former teacher and coach who has spent nearly 20 years as an attorney helping educators like you navigate legal issues.
This 90-minute webinar will be broken down into 3 sections covering the most challenging and confusing areas of special education compliance:
Within each section, Mr. Neff will briefly review the federal requirements districts must meet, and then open the floor for questions. Do you want to know when a student with a suspected disability should be referred for an evaluation, and how to conduct it? The separate FAPE standards under the IDEA and Section 504? When you must conduct an MDR for a student who violates the code of conduct?
Whatever your question — from timelines to procedural safeguards to compliant steps to take — this is the next best thing to a private consultation with an attorney. If you want insights on whether a current policy holds up or how to handle a specific scenario, this is your opportunity to get a straight answer before it becomes a problem.
