June 23: School Safety #MCLE

Attorney Clem

As lawyers and community leaders, we'll take time to think about what we can do in the wake of an epidemic of school violence. We'll look at the legal duties of school districts, and in that context, we'll explore possible solutions. We won't come up with the answer to school violence, but we'll try to identify that thought process that will allow us to find rational solutions.
