No matter how long you’ve worked in K-12, COVID-19 has most likely posed a new challenge to your district’s HR team.

You don’t have to rise to the occasion alone.

In this webinar, Human Resources Director at Corvallis School District Jennifer Duvall will share her top priorities this time of year and how she’s accomplishing them despite working virtually.

In this live interview, Jennifer will share how the district has built efficient processes and focused on employee growth, as well as how they’re handling employee contract renewals and assignment letters, recruiting and interviewing, and professional learning for all employee groups in this virtual setting.

Register here to get a fresh perspective on a virtual approach to your HR processes.

What can you do now to keep students and staff safe and healthy in the new year?

At the start of this new year, Omicron was spiking, shutting some schools down again. Vaccination policies have become political. And the mental health crisis is still raging, affecting students and staff.

It’s easy to feel helpless in this situation. As an advocate for student health, what can you do? And how can you empower your people to take small actions that add up for your students?

In this webinar, you’ll hear about concrete ways you can simplify health management at your school — from everyday student encounters to vaccine tracking. Most schools still use spreadsheets rather than a purpose-built system for school health, and we’ll dive into the differences between an EHR and manual tracking.

This fall, school will look different. Will students come back in person, or will they attend remotely? Will students be separated into cohorts in a “hybrid” schedule? Will they be permitted to choose? And what about staff — are schools required to provide remote work “accommodations” for medical conditions, childcare needs, or even fear of COVID-19 exposure? Do employment contracts remain binding in the “new normal?”

Legal issues arise in each circumstance related to:

• Multiple cohorts of students
• Student and staff COVID-19 “accommodation”
• Consistency in instruction
• Medical and educational confidentiality
• Recording classes
• The danger of the “COVID-19 Lane”
• Consent and notice
• Employment contract enforceability
• IEP/Section 504 implementation
• And more

In this 90-minute complimentary webinar and Q&A session, nationally recognized Education Law litigator and lecturer John Comegno, Esq. will provide practical suggestions for examining the most pressing legal questions faced by school and district leaders preparing to reopen school.

Please note that we cannot provide CEU certificates for this webinar.
