Supports to Safeguard Secondary Students from CSA
2026-04-14 10:00 - 11:00 | Webinar
Recognizing that school athletics is one of the highest-risk environments for adult misconduct, this session will introduce new tools, resources, and programs to help schools implement a structural shift or focus that prioritizes child sexual assault prevention. At the center of this approach is a powerful peer-to-peer prevention and leadership program designed specifically for middle and high school student-athletes. By incorporating clear expectations, updated handbook materials, consistent adult modeling, and student-led leadership into the daily rhythm of sports, this model transforms athletics into a safer, more intentional space for all participants. Attendees will walk away with practical tools, replicable resources, and real-world strategies they can immediately apply to strengthen safeguards within their athletic programs.

HR Roundtable - Freedom of Speech on Campus
2026-04-16 10:00 - 11:30
The United States Supreme Court has held that students, including minors, have some Constitutional rights to free speech, even on school campuses. But is all speech protected? When does speech rise to the point where discipline is warranted? When can a school regulate student speech? In this Roundtable, we will discuss rights of freedom of speech and assembly, and how to understand when speech becomes an issue warranting a response.
