For the Itasca session…We are now starting the day at 8:30 am and ending at 12:30 pm, 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.

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 2026.
