Student handbooks are essential documents for independent schools, and it is important for them to be up to date and reflective of school policies. This webinar provides an overview of key provisions that should be included in your school’s student handbook along with other recommended best practices and emerging trends, including a discussion of issues related to searching cell phones, vaping, establishing appropriate disciplinary processes and defining the scope of the school’s jurisdiction over student misconduct.
