Do you understand student rights in school disciplinary situations? Learn the legal status of student rights at the KSBA Student Discipline Conference, Nov. 15 at the Embassy Suites in Lexington.
District and school building administrators need to understand student rights in disciplinary situations in case the district or the individual is sued.
