As school districts return to a second year of pandemic instruction, issues thought to be temporary have turned out to be of longer duration.

- Copyright: How to provide instructional materials and avoid liability for copyright violations.
- Student Discipline: How does the Code of Student Conduct apply to misconduct in a virtual classroom?
- HIPPA: What privacy rules apply to student medical information during a pandemic, what information can be shared and with whom?
- STUDENT SAFETY: How to respond to violations of COVID-19 preventive measures? How should educators respond to indications of neglect/abuse, mental health or illegal activity they may see in a student’s home during remote instruction?
- FERPA: What does FERPA cover and do I violate it if a family member or sibling sees other children during remote instruction?
- SPECIAL EDUCATION: What are the district’s obligations related to Special Education timelines, evaluations and/or ARD meetings and documentation during remote instruction? How must the district handle medically fragile students and compensatory obligations resulting from COVID-19 issues?
