Join us for a comprehensive day of learning focused on the latest developments in Section 504. Participants will explore the fundamentals of Section 504, review recent legal updates including the impact of AJT v. Osseo, examine key cases affecting schools this year, and gain practical guidance on nursing services, extracurricular participation, and writing effective 504 plans. Multiple Q&A sessions throughout the day will provide opportunities to discuss real-world scenarios and receive expert advice. Lunch will be provided by SWWC.

The training will be led by Laura Tubbs Booth, one of Minnesota's most respected school law attorneys. With more than 25 years of experience representing Minnesota schools in special education matters and all areas of school law, Laura brings a wealth of practical expertise to her presentations. She is widely recognized for her work related to Section 504 and special education and was only the second attorney ever to receive the Minnesota Administrators for Special Education (MASE) Distinguished Service Award.
