2023 CSBA Legal Symposium for Experienced Board Members

Parent Rights: Who is in charge?
Event Single

Details

Parent's rights are important and need to be acknowledged. Now, more than ever, some parents are seeking to review the content of school curriculum and books retained in school libraries. These issues have dominated board meeting discussions in many communities. Can parents opt their children out of curriculum that discusses LGBTQ+ issues or other controversial subjects? Who has ultimate control over curriculum and books in a school's libraries? What laws guide this discussion? What is the board role in this culture war? This presentation will discuss the intersection of school board authority and parent rights in curriculum and other controversial issues.

This event is reserved for school district or public agency employees only. Please contact Client Services for more information.
