Description
Would your bullying investigation hold up in court? Our​ ​school​ ​district​ ​grappled​ ​with​ ​this​ ​question,​ ​spending two​ ​years​ ​consulting​ ​with​ ​legal​ ​experts.​ We​ ​developed a systematic investigation process used by our school district.​ ​From​ ​state​ ​law,​ ​to​ ​school​ ​policy,​ ​to​ ​investigation​ ​protocol​ ​and​ ​google​ ​forms--we did​ ​it​ ​all.​ ​In​ ​this​ ​session​, ​we​ ​will​ ​share​ ​our​ ​investigation​ ​process​ ​and​ ​what​ ​we​ ​have​ ​learned​ ​from this​ ​work.
