Our friends at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education [“CABE”], the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents [“CAPSS”] and the Connecticut Association of Schools [“CAS’] are sponsoring a program on issues facing LGBT students in our schools, and how schools may best address these issues and provide a supportive environment while complying with various legal mandates.
Entitled “Supporting LGBT Youth: Their Journey in Our Schools,” this program will feature a variety of speakers addressing the appropriate level of support that schools should provide LGBT youth in the various facets of school and student life. This program will take place on Monday, October 5, 2015 at 9:00 AM in Cheshire. For further information on this enlightening program, please click here.

Our own Michael McKeon and Susan Scott will be speaking at the CABE/CAPSS Annual Convention on Friday November 20, 2015, on “Civil Rights Issues in Our Schools: What You Need to Know” and “Transforming Equity: Title IX and Transgendered Students.” This combined workshop will cover the requirements of federal civil rights statutes, and their intersection with requirements for Connecticut school district to provide a safe school climate.
The workshop will include discussion unique to students with disabilities, discipline of minority students, and transgendered students.
