Illinois School Law Issues

Franczek Radelet attorneys speak on various school law topics at the 2009 Education Law Association 55^th Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. This year’s conference will be held October 21-24, 2009, and will feature presentations on “Education Law in a Time of Change: Federal, State, and Local Policy.” During the October 21 pre-conference sessions devoted specifically to Illinois, Franczek Radelet attorneys Patricia J. Whitten, Darcy L. Kriha, and Jacqueline Wernz make three presentations on 1) current students’ rights issues, i.e. student speech, school searches, and internet misconduct; 2) recent changes in special education law; and 3) the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The Education Law Association invites school district administrators, teachers, as well as attorneys to attend this year’s conference, which will feature Charles P.
