A board of cooperative educational services is a
"different animal." Whether you directly represent
a BOCES, or one or more of a BOCES' component school
districts, learn about the special rules that apply
to a BOCES. Explore the legal relationship between
a school district and a BOCES, and find out how
others have dealt with unique issues such as: which
entity has responsibility for student discipline,
alternative instruction during a suspension, decisions
whether to admit non-immunized students, ensuring
mandated reports get made? What factors should be
considered in connection with contracting? What
happens when a district "takes back" a BOCES program
(and vice-versa)? Learn all this and more! Presenter: Susan DiDonato, Questar III (Board of Cooperative Educational Services for Rensselaer-Columbia-Greene Counties) David A. Farmelo, Hodgson Russ, LLP Marc H. Reitz, Ferrara, Fiorenza, Larrison, Barrett and Reitz, PC |

Be guided through hypotheticals that address the thorny issues all practitioners who represent public schools must face, such as: to what extent can public officials accept gifts and to what degree can law firms or other firms give them; what ethical considerations arise from acceptance of donations to student scholarship funds and educational foundations; who is "the client" when representing a municipal entity; when is a firm conflicted out of representation? Presenter: Carol A. Melnick,
Jaspan Schlesinger Hoffman, LLP |
