With more than 32 years of experience in the field of special education law, attorney Melinda Jacobs has attended her fair share of IEP meetings and witnessed many instances of staff “sabotaging” the school district’s position with comments, actions, and recommendations. In this presentation, Jacobs explores the myriad of ways school staff often create unnecessary legal problems for school districts by saying, doing, and writing illegal, untimely, and sometimes downright “stupid” things during IEP meetings. Get ready for a fast-paced, interactive, and (yes) humorous look at the most common problems, and learn the warning signs and remedies for avoiding and/or fixing issues before they become litigation time-bombs!
