As the principal of an elementary school, I must deal with many different situations. Sometimes, it is an anxious student who needs comfort. Sometimes, it is a parent who needs to be straightened out. Sometimes, it is simply bad behavior. Speaking of bad behavior, a couple of

I am a superintendent of a PreK-12 public school district here in Connecticut, and I think I have budgetary PTSD. The problem started when our operating budget took a major hit due to unanticipated outplacements for new students and a decrease in excess cost grant payments from the State

Now that Thanksgiving is over, some of us are decorating for Christmas. That is normally fine with me, but one of my teachers may have gone overboard. A teacher in my school who doesn’t celebrate Christmas complained that another teacher has placed a small crèche on her desk.

I have worked in districts that follow the policy that IEP progress reports are mailed home directly to families, as they are treated as the confidential file of the student to whom they belong. I have recently taken on a new position in a wonderful school system. This district has

As the principal of a middle school, I find myself in the doghouse with my Superintendent, and I am hoping that Legal Mailbag can help me get out. One of the secretaries in my school woke up from a deep sleep last month to realize that she has been paid

The father of one of the students in my school is a pain in my butt. He is always complaining to me as principal about his son’s experiences at my school. “The homework is too hard!” “The activities in physical education class should be less strenuous!” “The other students are

We have a new security guard at my school this year, and he is causing me concern. His predecessor was a take-charge kind of guy. This new guard, however, is mellow, and doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. Last week, for example, two students started fighting, but this fellow

Given that it is Halloween, I have a scary story to tell. A student recently moved into our district and enrolled in my school. The parents are lovely people, but they have strong feelings about what we can teach their child, who is in the fourth grade.

Since the beginning of this school year, I have been pulled back and forth by two parents of a student in the school where I am the principal. They are involved in a bitter divorce, and they are both making demands of me and my staff. I pushed

As the principal of an elementary school, I usually get along great with my superintendent. But last week was a different story. The problem started when a third grade student snuck away at recess undetected. The teacher first noticed that the student was missing when she brought the

I am looking for some free legal advice regarding staff use of social media and its implications for the district, and I know just where to turn. I would like to understand what stance the district can take when staff members use social media as a separate business. I have even

As principal of a large elementary school, I understand that we must welcome all children. Some children have truly challenging behaviors, however, and, to be honest, not all of the teachers in my building are up to the challenge. One of the fourth grade teachers is a case in point.

The beginning of the school year always includes a number of new registrations for school, and sometimes people other than the parents ask to register students they claim are living with them. We want to be welcoming to these prospective students, but our consistent procedure has been to require that

I am the athletic director at a public high school, and we are looking for legal guidance on how to handle a current situation. A student tried out for and made our cheerleading team. The student experiences high levels of anxiety, and she has an IEP with many accommodations,

As the principal of an elementary school, I must deal with a wide range of personalities. Most of the teachers in my school can handle the occasionally-disruptive student. However, one of my teachers is fragile, and she complains all the time that students just don’t behave anymore.

As we close out the school year, one of the teachers at my school told me about an incident last month that causes me concern. Apparently, a fourth-grader told a friend last month that the physical education teacher had grabbed him by the shoulders in anger and shook him

The last day of school for students and teachers this year is next Monday, but a controversy is brewing over expectations for the summer. As principal of an elementary school, I am used to letting parents and students know who their teachers will be for the coming year, and simply

As the principal of a middle school, I have to deal with all sorts of challenges, and perhaps my least favorite is disciplining employees. But I have been to enough workshops to know that documentation of employee deficiencies is essential. Hopefully, a strong letter will straighten out an

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, we all look forward to the end of the school year and the respite of an all-too-brief summer break. But first we must get through the rest of the school year! As we look ahead to the inevitable disciplinary actions,

As a middle school principal, I was networking at the CAS-CIAC Membership Reception earlier this month (wonderful affair, by the way!), and I was lamenting over the usual end-of-year headaches. We all agreed that it is getting harder and harder to have students return their Chromebooks, textbooks, and other

My school district recently held a referendum on the board of education budget. It was a squeaker, but the budget was approved by a narrow vote. I am proud to say that I did my part. I am the principal in an elementary school, and I worked

Last week one of the students at our middle school wrote an essay in his English class that caused the teacher such concern that she brought it to me as principal. Her concern was legitimate because the student’s essay was very dark, with references to violence and self-harm.

As I was falling asleep last night, I awoke with a start, wondering whether we should be doing more to part company with a long term substitute. I am the principal of an elementary school, and one of my teachers went out on leave last fall for an illness. At

As a new and enthusiastic administrator, I greatly appreciate how technology helps us do our jobs better in so many different ways. Nowadays, we resolve many credibility disputes over student conduct by simply reviewing the surveillance videos. However, as soon as we tell parents that their child was “caught on

As a middle school principal and faithful reader of Legal Mailbag, I appreciated learning about the status of text messages between teachers in the Newsblast a couple weeks ago (March 7, 2024 Legal Mailbag). But Legal Mailbag got me thinking, and now I am anxious to know the answers to
