Hodges Loizzi, in partnership with IASPA, once again invites you to join us for a day of professional learning as we discuss the most significant legal updates affecting Illinois school districts from the past year.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to hear from experienced school attorneys who navigate countless issues with school leaders every day. You'll leave this half-day seminar up to date on the latest school law news, equipped with practical tips, and knowing you're in good hands with our team as issues arise down the road.
This year's conference will address:
- OMA and FOIA developments
- Employee religious accommodations
- Right to sue under Title IX
- Parents' constitutional rights
- Public school transportation requirements to private schools
- Social media and the First Amendment
- Collective bargaining trends
- Legislative updates
- Individual school administrators' liability
- Transgender litigation
- AI in the school setting
- Cell phone ban
- Tenured teacher dismissals
- LRE
- Labor Board decisions
- Federal administration update
- ADA claims; and more.
Like last year, we are starting the day at 8:30 am and ending at 12:30 pm, before lunch…but don’t worry, there will be snacks! We will have our usual three content section areas: Students/Special Education, Board Governance, and Labor/Personnel. After that, we’ll have a break but return to the conference room for our popular Stump-the-Lawyers Q&A.
This seminar is eligible for 3 PD Hours from IASPA, and attendees will receive a PDF version of the comprehensive seminar book, The Year in Review: Highlights and Lowlights of Illinois School Law 2026.
