ISBA Legal Services

Access to informed legal advice before a legal matter becomes a problem can save board members and administrators time, money, and headaches. The ISBA Legal Services staff provides consultation, information, and advice on legal issues arising anywhere from the boardroom to the classroom. Find what you need below.

On-Demand Expertise and Consultation
ISBA legal staff are available to answer phone calls and emails from school board members and authorized administrators seeking answers to legal questions.

​
Purchase Legal Publications
Legal publications available for sale through our Online Store include the Employee Discharge Manual and Student Discipline Manual.

Presentations
ISBA legal staff can deliver presentations at administrative in-service sessions, school board meetings, school board retreats, professional development workshops, conferences, study councils, university groups, and other education gatherings.

Workshops
ISBA sponsors legal workshops throughout the year on timely topics such as student due process and employee discharge and will also convene additional workshops as needed when issues emerge.

Seminars
ISBA hosts a full-day legal seminar twice a year to allow our members to learn about significant school law issues from experienced attorneys in the field of education. These school law seminars generally take place in June and December. In conjunction with the Indiana Association of Public School Superintendents, ISBA annually hosts a full-day seminar on collective bargaining and labor relations.
