MESPA Legal Issues Seminars
WebQuestion_Kathleen_Antilla
Proctor seminar: Roger ponders a question from Kathleen Antilla.



















Relevant, practical, and interactive -- and fascinating!

Plan now to attend one of MESPA’s full-day seminars, offered at six regional locations statewide, and presented by Roger Aronson, MESPA legislative and legal counsel. 
MESPA division meetings precede the seminars, if organized by the divisions in each region. 

When Aronson speaks, principals listen. MESPA Legal Issues Seminar topics include but aren't limited to:
-- Elementary Student Disciplinary Considerations
-- Tenured Principal Discipline
-- Bullying -- where do we go from here
-- Data Privacy
--AND if there any topics, large or small, that you'd like to have addressed at the seminar, include them on your registration. Roger will incorporate as many topics as he can.

Why attend?
Here is what participants say.
  • Topics that could be dry are presented in a way that keep our attention. Information is current. Roger is very approachable. Allows time for questions. Roger is a great resource for our organization.
  • Roger is informative and entertaining.  When I asked him a question during a break, he brought it up with the group,  that provided further insights and advice.
  • Roger always presents by adding valuable insight!
  • The actual stories that Roger tells in relation to the topics make this one of the best learning experiences of the year. Thanks.
  • In the "everyday, hectic" world of the principalship, it can become routine business -- we know it is anything but...
  • I truly appreciate all of the insight Roger provides in relationship to the Minnesota Department of Education.
  • All topics were relevant. The information and discussion regarding maltreatment reporting was timely: information we need to further inform our staff about.
  • The real life stories that Roger tells us helps us think about how to handle certain situations as they arise.
  • He gives us the information and helps us learn from others' experiences.
  • Excellent staff development for principals. I look forward to it every year!
