School Discipline Reform, Liability, and the Law of UNintended consequences: Essential court cases and model policies

Dr. Bernard James
This session will examine school discipline reform in a brief but empirical manner, focusing on two themes: (1) a comparison of the elements of restorative justice in its seminal form to the actual policies in use by school officials in the education environment; and (2) a survey of judicial proceedings that impose liability on educators whose discipline policies conflict with clearly established law on student rights.  Essential court decisions, model policies, and hypothetical cases will provide tools for identifying the constitutional side of the line.
Opening General Session 
5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
I'll Push you 

Meet Push Inc. founders Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray. In 2014, these two life-long friends tackled the impossible, a 500-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago through Spain, one pushing the other in a wheelchair.  While Patrick, and others, physically pushed Justin the distance, Justin pushed Patrick, mentally and emotionally, beyond fear and insecurity, into a whole new world of joy and freedom.

Overcoming life's challenges requires acknowledging your weaknesses, inviting others into your story, and embracing the fact that you cannot do it all on your own.

Through their opening keynote session on July 17, Justin and Patrick will show attendees no challenge is too great to overcome, but success in the face of adversity is dependent upon your willingness to let others help push you beyond the limitations you believe you possess.

Student Trauma: It's power, problems, and potential
Presented by Dr. Judi Vanderhaar, KY Department of Education

The pervasive nature of trauma in our society is clearly reflected in the lives of our students in schools. Trauma is a powerful force that can cause many problems in schools, yet can also uncover hidden potential when we understand and address it.  In this session, Dr. Judi Vanderhaar will lead participants in exploring the science of trauma and four key elements necessary to be truly responsive to trauma in schools.  Several practical strategies and tools will be offered. 

Senate Bill 1 - the school safety and resiliency act
Presented by Jon Akers, KY Center for School Safety

Kentucky lawmakers created a bi-partisan bill that sets goals for hiring more resource officers and mental health professionals at schools, mandates suicide prevention training for teachers and staff, and creates the statewide position of "school security marshal." KCSS executive director Jon Akers will speak on the components of SB1 and the implications on student safety for Kentucky schools.

Developing effective school / law enforcement partnerships
Presented by Deana Ashby and Robert Carter, Hopkins Co. Schools

So what can we do together?  In today’s times, school safety is in the forefront of everyone’s mind.  School safety is no longer just a law enforcement or school issue.  It is now a nationwide issue.  In this session, Superintendent Deana Ashby and Director of Engagement, Equity and School Support Robert Carter, will focus on healthy relationships between administrators and law enforcement.  The presenters will share a model that has proven to be successful in education, government, and industry.  So what can we do together?  

ferpa - student rights protection as it relates to sro's and school personnel
Presented by Anne Coorssen, J.D., Oldham County Schools

The federal law known as FERPA’s purpose is to protect the privacy of student information as well as establishing who may have access to such records. The presence of SRO’s in many schools today has created confusion on the access of SRO’s to school records, weighing victim’s rights and access to FERPA’s guidelines, and the reporting to law enforcement student crimes from school personnel. The recent Supreme Court case from Kentucky on Miranda rights of students in relation to FERPA will also be discussed. School board attorney Anne Coorssen, J.D., discusses the role of SRO’s and the legal rights to access student records.



arriving, leaving and transitions - worth a second look
Presented by Dan Orman, KY Center for School Safety

As a school leader, you understand that morning arrival, afternoon dismissal and mass movement during transitions can be the most challenging times of the day for safety and security considerations. The presenter will share some observations from schools across Kentucky and ways to minimize the vulnerability of those critical moments. There are no answers set in stone, but taking time to examine the physical layout, law enforcement viewpoints and applying principles of situational awareness may help mitigate the risk. 

responding to an actual violent crisis
Presented by Trent Lovett, Marshall Co. Schools

On January 23, 2018 a tragic school shooting occurred at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky. Listen as Superintendent Trent Lovett describes the events of the tragic day and the steps taken in the aftermath. You will receive a first person look from not only the Superintendent, but the father of a student who was inside the school. Then listen as he describes the steps taken throughout the district over the next several days, weeks and months to help calm fears throughout the community.

event safety and security - planning for athletic and other extracurricular events
Presented by Jon Akers, KY Center for School Safety and James Stephens, retired KY State Police

Each year, multiple school events are planned and set into action with 1000’s of students and spectators. Effective safety and security planning needs to be implemented prior to the event to better ensure the safety and security of those who will attend. This session will provide the audience with a historical background on school event violence, event safety and security issues, and mitigation methods for those risks and vulnerabilities.
