The Year in Review: Highlights & Lowlights of Illinois School Law 2025

Hodges Loizzi, in partnership with IASPA, once again invites you to join us for a day of professional
learning as we discuss the most significant legal updates affecting Illinois school districts over the
past year.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to hear from an experienced panel of Hodges Loizzi attorneys
who navigate these issues with school leaders every day. You'll be sure to leave this half-day
seminar up to date on the latest school law news, equipped with practical tips, and knowing you're
in good hands with our team as issues arise down the road.

The year's conference will address:
•Student free speech •OMA and FOIA developments
•Employee misconduct •Title IX
•Parent opt-outs •Workplace harassment
•State funding of religious charter schools •Legislative updates
•Social media and the First Amendment •Board of Education liability
•Transgender litigation •Tenured teacher dismissals
•ESS law •Collective bargaining trends
•Labor Board decisions •E-rate; and more.
•ADA claims

For the Itasca session...*NEW* New this year—we heard your feedback and we responded.
We’re keeping all our great content, and even adding some, but we will finish before lunch so you
can return to your day. We are now starting the day at 8:30am and ending at 12:30pm, before
lunch...but don’t worry, there will be snacks! We will have our usual three content section areas:
Students/Special Education, Board Governance, and Labor/Personnel. After that, we’ll have a
break but return to the conference room for our popular Stump-the-Lawyers Q&A and a panel on
the education landscape in light of recent federal initiatives.

This seminar is eligible for 3 PD Hours from IASPA, and attendees will receive a PDF version of the comprehensive seminar book, The Year in Review: The Highlights and Lowlights of Illinois School Law 2023.
