In today’s sometimes contentious environment, boards can struggle with the challenges of meeting agendas and allowing all stakeholder's voices into the policies and practices of the district. Where are the lines that define good board practice and free speech? With an increase in legal suits over this matter, it is important to know what rights the First Amendment guarantees. In this course, you will be introduced to some foundational concepts of the First Amendment.
You'll receive 3 lessons on The First Amendment as it pertains to school board members.
This course was adapted from our January 2024 School Board Summit in Virginia. At its creation, it was intended for school board members, but we believe it can be beneficial to anyone.
