In addition to providing a
number of services , TASB Legal Services designs seminars to help member school
districts advance public education. School Board members, administrators
and attorneys are offered a variety of information and training sessions.
The TASB Fall Legal Seminar
this week-end in Austin covered several topics from “When good Employees Go
Bad” to recent Legislative and Legal Updates.
Also included were
informative and for me, confirming discussions about the Texas Open Meetings
Act (OMA), which was established to “ensure the public’s access to meetings of
governmental bodies so that it has the opportunity to be informed concerning
the transactions of public business.”
I have often expressed concerns about following the Texas Open Meetings Act. Training at the TASB Legal Seminar provided
helpful Texas Open Meetings Act reminders.
Texas ISD representatives from
small to large school districts attended the TASB Fall Seminar facilitated by TASB Legal Services staff.
Thanks to TASB Legal Services
for providing quality educational training about legal
developments that influence and affect public schools in Texas.
