Just For You!

The Alabama Council of School Board Attorneys is a component of the Alabama Association of School Boards and is exclusively for school board attorneys.

ACSBA provides members with the specialized information they need to keep pace with developments in education law and to protect and defend school boards.

Members meet annually to discuss these issues, receive legislative updates and share their knowledge of court rulings that impact local school boards. Seminar topics in the past have included personnel records, public records, e-discovery, crisis management, contracts and special education.

New members enjoy an opportunity to network and learn from seasoned school board attorneys who often present at the ACSBA summer meeting. ACSBA applies for CLE credit to benefit seminar attendees.

 

For more information, contact us or call 800/562-0601.

 

Share Your Expertise!

Alabama School Boards magazine, a publication of the Alabama Association of School Boards, prints helpful columns written by ACSBA members. The “Education and the Law” columns allow members to share their expertise on a variety of legal issues that relate to K-12 education in Alabama.

Submissions are generally between 750 and 1,500 words or no more than 2 ½ double-spaced pages. Request guidelines here.
