The Council of School Board Attorneys’ (CSBA) Annual Seminar on School Law will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at the MSBA Training Complex in Ridgeland, MS.

The CSBA Annual Seminar has been a regular annual event for many of the state’s school board attorneys.

  • What’s Happening with Federal Law? Title IX, Employee Religious Speech, Special Education, FERPA, and Sexual Harassment
  • COSA / NSBA Update
  • What’s New with Policy & Legislation?
  • Writing Effective Contracts
  • Best Practices to Avoid Liability
  • How’s That Working For You? Staff & Student Matters Related to Medical Marijuana / THC
