Compliance work is uniquely heavy by nature, and burnout is inevitable without sustainable practices. Every compliance team can have balance by creating a better rhythm. In this episode of The Law and Education Podcast, we are discussing some lessons we learned from the recent ICS retreat. Tuning in, you'll hear all about the importance of finding a good rhythm for your compliance team, the power of restoration, real work, and fun, and why all three need to exist within a team, and so much more! We delve into what causes burnout before discussing the importance of sustainable compliance practices. Our host even breaks down three simple 'retreat' ideas that are cost-effective and short, and will have the same impact as our retreat did. Finally, you'll be challenged to find one thing to implement for your team that can create more balance. Thanks for listening!    Key Points From This Episode: Today's topic: a recap of the recent ICS retreat. The importance of finding balance within compliance teams. Why your compliance team needs rhythm. Three elements of a successful retreat: restoration, real work, and fun. Why restoration is protective for compliance workers. How doing hard, structural work reduces the weight of burnout. The power of fun as a tool for building trust within teams. Why burnout isn't always about workload and what sustainable compliance is. A breakdown of simple, budget-friendly, and short 'retreat' ideas.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: ICS Lawyer Higher Ed Community Access K-12 Community Access Higher Ed Virtual Certified IX Training K-12 Virtual Certified Title IX Training ICS Blog Courtney Bullard on X  Learn about Becoming a Community Partner

The year 2025 was a reset, not a pause. There are some narratives floating around that 2025 was a slowdown year for civil rights enforcement, but that narrative is wrong. What 2025 actually showed is that enforcement didn't retreat; it restructured. During this episode, we explore the priorities that defined 2025, the decentralization of civil rights enforcement, and what this meant for compliance over the past year. We also dive into the five enforcement realities that emerged and the implications of each of these for the future. The real compliance question for 2026 isn't whether you have policies and procedures; it's whether your compliance house is in order. In 2025, siloed compliance models broke down. Join us as we discuss the impact of this, what centralization truly means, and what to ensure you have on your risk radar as we enter a new year. Key Points From This Episode: A new community partner benefit that ICS is rolling out in 2026. The restructuring that defined 2025 in civil rights compliance.  Which priorities led enforcement politics over the past year.  Understanding that civil rights enforcement is no longer centralized and the implications of this.  The five enforcement realities that became impossible to ignore over the past year.  Assessing whether or not your compliance house is in order. Why siloed compliance models broke down in 2025 and what this means for the future. What centralization actually means for us.  Elements to keep on your risk radar in 2026.  Topics included in the first ICS webinar of the year.  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Register for the 2025 Year-End Compliance Review Webinar Steven Richard on LinkedIn ICS Higher Ed Community Access K-12 Community Access Higher Ed Virtual Certified IX Training K-12 Virtual Certified Title IX Training ICS Blog Courtney Bullard on X  Learn about Becoming a Community Partner

This year has been unlike any other in the compliance world. Across every school district and institution that we support, we have seen the same pattern emerge: expectations rising and responsibilities expanding, and the compliance landscape shifting faster than ever before under this new administration. At ICS, we've tried to offer some real clarity and practical pathways forward to help you stay ahead over the course of the year. During this episode, we unpack the newly released Title IX Student Bystander Training. The goal of this training is to equip students with real skills and to help schools build safer communities from the ground up. Joining us to discuss this topic is Betsy Smith, our Chief Innovation Officer, who led the development of this training. She walks us through what the training covers, why it matters, how to implement the training on the ground, and how schools can bring it to life at their district or school. We're always looking for change in small and big ways, and we are so grateful to be a part of this training. Tune in to hear more.  Key Points From This Episode: Looking back at the compliance world in 2025.  How ICS has worked to meet the needs that have emerged in the past year.  The new community partner benefit that ICS has launched.  What the new Title IX Student Bystander Training for K-12 entails.  What Chief Innovation Officer Betsy Smith has been focused on this year.  Background on our new Title IX Student Bystander Training and why it is specifically for K-12 students.

Artificial intelligence is transforming education, and compliance is no exception.

We begin with a look behind the scenes at ICS, including updates on community partner renewals, new training opportunities, and upcoming Title VI Coordinator courses. From there, we explore three key questions: How is AI changing where students and staff find compliance resources? Can AI tools safely support Coordinators and investigators in their daily work? And how might parties or advisors use AI in Title IX cases?

Hometown Radio 08/18/25 3p: Guest Host Bill Ostrander talks with Hilda Zacarias Director of Community Partners in Caring

The Department of Justice is more active than ever before. At the launch of the new academic school year, we are joined by two formidable legal minds from Salvatore Prescott Porter & Porter. Whitney Pellegrino is a seasoned architect of educational civil rights enforcement and strategic counsel for institutions nationwide. Veronica Percia is a dynamic litigator and former DOJ leader behind some of the most impactful Title IX and discrimination settlements in the country. Both of them bring deep experience and a profound dedication to advancing equity and education. Our conversation kicks off with two DEI updates from the DOJ before we share updates from ICS. Then, we launch into the experiences that have shaped Whitney and Veronica's paths to working in civil rights, what makes working at the DOJ special, and insights into the current landscape and the changes we are seeing today. Next, we discuss what it looks like to be proactive in this space, distinguish between the abstract and specific implications, and look beyond the immediate implications of a complaint to understand what it is symptomatic of. Join us today to hear all this and more.  Key Points From This Episode: Background on Whitney Pellegrino and Veronica Percia from Salvatore Prescott Porter & Porter.  The Bondi Memo issued to federal agencies responsible for enforcing civil rights laws. Stephanie Gallagher's recent ruling and the impact it will have on DEI.  ICS updates including new higher ed and K-12 trainings and the Title VI policy blueprint. Whitney's journey to the DOJ.  Veronica's path to civil rights law.  What is unique about working at DOJ and what makes the job special.  The UMBC investigation that Veronica worked on.  Differences between OCR and DOJ enforcement tools and authority.  Insights on the current landscape, Title IX, and Title VI.  Why this is the time to be proactive and supply more civil rights compliance to students. Distinguishing between the law in the abstract and the law as it applies to you. Understanding that complaints relate to experiences and broader issues. What the best defenses to chaos actually are.  How Whitney and Veronica are supporting schools today.

This week we bring you a vital community conversation about the impacts of Data Centers and LG&E/KU's plans to power them on our utility bills, our climate, and our environment. On the evening of August 19, 2025, Forward Radio's proud Community Partner, the Greater Louisville Sierra Club hosted this conversation at United Crescent Hill Ministries with Elisa Owen, Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign Organizer in Kentucky. Corporate energy giant PPL Corporation — parent company of Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities (KU) —is pushing a $3.7 billion fossil-fueled expansion and justifying this as needed to meet surging electricity demand from data centers and industrial projects. Instead of making big corporations pay their fair share, PPL wants Kentucky families to foot the bill through higher rates. Elisa helps us understand Kentucky's Public Service Commission and the process of granting a CPCN (Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity), the issues around emerging data centers, and what we can do as citizen activists to help insure a clean and reliable electric grid that benefits everyone and can power our country into the future while reducing coal and gas emissions, improving public health, and mitigating the impacts of our changing climate.

Hometown Radio 07/18/25 3p: Guest Host Bill Ostrander talks with Hilda Zacarias Director of Community Partners in Caring

Leaving prison can be a jarring experience. Reentry can be challenging under the best of circumstances. But a state housing crisis has made it harder. Landlords are less likely to rent to someone with a criminal record. Formerly incarcerated people are 10 times more likely to be homeless. Add in cuts to mental health services, job assistance and food insecurity programs, life is getting harder for many people who were previously incarcerated. Today, we’re talking about challenges facing the formerly incarcerated population upon release. GUESTS: Alpha Jalloh: formerly incarcerated person living in Connecticut Bryan "Love" Jordan: formerly incarcerated person living in Connecticut State Sen. Gary Winfield: Democrat representing the Tenth District in New Haven and West Haven Beth Hines: Executive Director of Community Partners in Action Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, your Sustainability Now! host, Justin Mog, puts on his overalls and gets in the fields with Stephen Bartlett, director of one of Forward Radio's proud Community Partners, Sustainable Agriculture Louisville (SAL). Tune in for an update on SAL's work cultivating community around Native American “Three-Sisters” plots of corn, squash, and beans. In addition to SAL's annual plot out at Barr Farms in Breckinridge County, Stephen helped plant a full one-acre plot at the Common Earth Garden Incubator farm as a "Social Enterprise" and introduced a cohort of young agriculturalist aspirants with KSU to the fun of planting the field. CEG plans to use the crops to market them for some income to keep our programs going, despite being "DOGE'ed" and having significant funding discontinued and likely grants cancelled because of anti-DEI measures. Fortunately SAL has funding to continue working to support urban and peri-urban farmers in expanding their production, and marketing of crops including very promising medicinal species favored by Asian and African growers. SAL is accompanying increased local production and dissemination of knowledge about medicinal and high nutrition plants. They are working to increase land access for subsistence food production and building community resilience through expanded localized agriculture with intercultural linguistic justice and trauma-informed organizing. Learn more and support the work at https://salouisville.org

In this episode, Catherine is joined by Wendy Minhinnett - a lived experience leader who co-created the Rollercoaster Parent Carer Support Project. Her work has been recognised with a Positive Practice in Mental Health Award and a *BEM in 2022 for services to parents of children with mental health needs.After over a decade of heart-led lived experience work, Wendy experienced a complete burnout that coincided with menopause and a difficult workplace experience. It was during this midlife unraveling that she was diagnosed as autistic, ADHD, and dyspraxic at 51 - a discovery that changed everything.Wendy shares her powerful story of late diagnosis, identity loss, and post-burnout rediscovery. She speaks openly about masking, boundaries, autistic burnout, and the creative healing process that included therapy, community, and even body painting. Now in a new chapter, she's building inclusive spaces on her terms - including TRUE, a support group for late discovered women - and finding pride in who she is.This episode is a deeply moving conversation about starting over, honouring your neurodivergence, and finally feeling seen.*A British Empire Medal is an honour awarded by the UK government to recognise meritorious civil or military service, often at a local or community level. People who receive a BEM have typically made a significant difference in their communities, often through volunteering, charity work, public service, or lived experience leadership like Wendy's.Connect with Wendy:LinkedInInstagramHead to Wendy's website TRUEInterested in Wendy's TRUE group?
