Feedback Survey
Are charter schools public schools? Are we political subdivisions of the state? Does ERISA apply to us? Are or aren't these questions already answered--and does that matter? Through a conversation with a national legal expert, Renita Thukral from the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools, learn more about the role Louisiana charter schools are playing in national debates--not just between states but also between the states and federal authorities like the IRS and Dept. of Labor. And more importantly, learn what type of risks these sorts of issues create for our schools and who has final say.

*Participants will earn a 1-hr CLE credit for this session.
