We will review who is covered under your district’s policies, what Special Education (SPED) coverage includes, and strategies for effectively managing common situations—such as community use of school facilities, volunteers, transportation, and PTO/PTA activities. We will also highlight frequent coverage exclusions that principals should be aware of.Come prepared to share your own experiences, discuss real-world scenarios with colleagues, and actively engage in the learning process.

Best Practices in Hiring This session will review best practices in the hiring process covering recruitment, screening and selection of individuals interested in joining your organization. The program will also focus attention on how to conduct a proper and thorough interview process.
