Join Husch Blackwell Education attorneys and representatives from the Council of the Great City Schools (CGCS) for a discussion on recent disputes between state governments and school districts across the country. Our nation has a long history of local control over public education, but where does local control ultimately reside?
This webinar will examine the true meaning of local control in public education. Specifically, we will address the current controversies between local school boards and state officials, including the mechanisms by which state officials intervene in local school board matters, such as legislation, political pressures, and legal action.
