This episode was provided in Partnership with Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management.With school staffing shortages growing across the nation, it is imperative that school districts competing for staff members signal that they offer a family-friendly environment that recognizes the many pressing needs that may arise for staff members related to their families. At the same time, school staff members provide essential services and school districts need staff members to be present in order to operate efficiently and provide reliable educational and support services for students. This episode will review legal requirements under federal and state law that impact family issues that may arise for staff, including legal obligations related to family and medical leave, sick leave, and addressing the needs of staff members struggling with mental health and/or substance use issues.

This episode was provided in Partnership with Alliant Insurance Services.All school districts need to understand their obligations for implementing Title IX, which ensures that no students in our schools are victims of gender-based discrimination, whether in the form of inadequate support for female students in athletics, under-representation in certain rigorous academic programs or ineffective responses to reports of student sexual harassment. On August 1st, 2024, those obligations underwent major changes as a result of 1677 pages of new federal regulations that went into effect that day. This podcast episode will highlight the key changes in those regulations, as well as recent Title IX case law, and provide tips for schools in fulfilling their legal obligations under Title IX.Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuest - Sandra L.

That team includes parents, students, private healthcare providers and, of course, key school officials, including school nurses, school physicians, athletic directors, coaches and athletic trainers. For the 24-25 school year, major changes were made to the process for student athlete clearance, including revised forms and new limitations on information that is to be shared with school officials, absent parental consent. This podcast episode will highlight the key aspects of the revised student athlete clearance process, ongoing obligations to address any new medical issues that school officials may become aware of, and strategies for ensuring that necessary information is shared between students, parents, healthcare providers and school officials in order to promote the health and safety of all student athletes.Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuest - Bert Mandelbaum, MD, FAAP, School Physician

This episode was provided in Partnership with Alliant Insurance Services.We are experiencing a surge in students nationwide who are in need of mental health supports. Involvement in school athletics has the potential to greatly benefit both the physical and mental health and well-being of students. However, student athletes often face enormous pressures to succeed, both athletically and academically. For any student athlete, there is also the challenge of learning to cope with the emotional rollercoaster that inevitably comes with athletic competition. In addition, for many student athletes, the coach is the school employee who knows that student better than any other staff member, and may be the first to recognize subtle changes in the student's demeanor or behavior. In this podcast episode, participants will learn about the legal requirements relevant to addressing student mental health issues, the critical role of the coach and athletic director, and key protocols for creating a safety net to support all student athletes.

Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuest - George Guy, Principal, Cherry Hill Public SchoolsDiscrimination in our schools can take many forms. Sometimes it takes the form of overt, intentional acts which any reasonable person should recognize. But other times, discrimination can take more insidious, subtle forms. Learning how to identify those subtle forms of discrimination, including microaggressions and implicit biases, is critical for school districts in order to meet their legal duty of care and to ensure a school climate and culture that embraces the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this episode, participants will learn about the legal obligations related to identifying, responding to, and overcoming microaggressions and implicit biases that impact the school setting for all stakeholders.

Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuest - Rebecca Gold, LEGAL ONE ConsultantWith school districts facing increasing staffing shortages, efforts to promote diversity in hiring have become more challenging than ever. Those efforts have become ever more complicated by a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating the use of certain affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. However, the legal requirement to promote diversity in hiring and ensure nondiscriminatory hiring and promotions remains in effect for all New Jersey school districts. In this episode, participants will gain an understanding of current legal requirements, the impact of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, and the elements related to recruitment and hiring practices that must be addressed in each district's Comprehensive Equity Plan. Listeners will also learn about innovative recruiting strategies that have made a real difference for New Jersey school districts.

Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuest - Maureen A. Brogan, LPC, ACS, DAAETS, DRCC, Program Manager, Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth (TLC), Rutgers University Behavioral Health CareRecent data suggests an alarming spike in mental health needs for students and staff in our public schools. In this episode, participants will learn about legal requirements under state and federal law related to addressing mental health needs, including a new State law regarding depression screening for students, expansions of state requirements related to health insurance coverage, an overview of the interactive process and reasonable accommodations, and key mental health considerations related to school security.

Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuest - John Worthington, Esq., Coordinator of Special Education Law, FEANew Jersey has one of the most expansive anti-discrimination laws in the nation, which provides strong protections for students and staff members in our schools. In this episode, participants will learn about the broad protections available under NJLAD, including protected categories, recent expansions and clarifications of those protections related to racial discrimination, protections from discrimination linked to hair type/style/texture, and gender equity, including equity in pay and protections for the rights of new mothers, and the various options available for raising a claim of discrimination against a school district.

Host - David Nash, Esq., Director of Legal Education and National Outreach, FEAGuests - Christian Fuscarino, Executive Director, Garden State Equality and Kate Okeson, Co-Founder, Monmouth Consortium for LGBTQ+ Youth and NJ High School Art TeacherThe stakes couldn't be higher. Across the nation, a concerted effort is underway to pressure local school districts to reduce or even abandon essential policies, practices, and curricula that are intended to promote a safe and supportive learning environment for LGBTQ+ students. These efforts have the potential to exponentially increase the risk of harm to students. In this episode, participants will learn about the legal requirements to support LGBTQ+ students under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and other state and federal laws; key elements of guidance developed by the New Jersey Department of Education and Attorney General related to supporting transgender students; and the legal consequences and foreseeable dangers related to adopting board policies that require the outing of LGBTQ+ students to parents or guardians.

In preparation for a summer filled with fun and exciting summer camp opportunities, I am welcoming Cherie Benjoseph, LCSW on The Heartful Parent Podcast today. Cherie has worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years in various school settings. Currently she works at the Director of National Outreach and Education for the Center for Child Counseling.  In 2009, Cherie founded the KidSafe Foundation, a non-profit with a focus on child sexual abuse primary prevention. KidSafe has many programs for parents and educators, but today we are talking about CampSafe which is geared towards providing strong foundational knowledge of child sexual abuse prevention and awareness within a  day camp or overnight camp setting. Cherie shares with us two imperative conversations parents or caregivers need to have if you are sending your child to camp this summer. First are the questions you must ask the director of your child's camp in order as part of the process of researching and vetting the camp you choose for your child. And second are the conversations to have with your kids, starting way in advance, so they know what to expect, what healthy boundaries might look like, and what options they have for protecting themselves and who to go to if something feels off.  Cherie and I share an absolute love for camp, and the experiences it can bring to our children's lives. But it is our job to project all the children! So Cherie encourages us to not only have these tough conversations with the directors of the camps and help our kids feel prepared, but also make it the norm that camps participate in a program like CampSafe as part of their own process to keep kids safe at their camps.  Find out more about CampSafe, and the other programs offered by the KidSafe Foundation at their website: kidsafefoundation.org and connect with Cherie and the work she does for the Center for Child Counseling at centerforchildcounseling.org. Note: I offer resources and support for child safety with Savvy Parents Safe Kids as part of The Heartful Parent Collective. Sign up to get resources from me delivered right to your inbox!

Ilhan Omar booted from foreign intelligence committee and the meltdown is epic. Also, Mr Rogers had it right. Senior Editor for The Federalist, David Harsanyi, is on the show to discuss his latest: Democrats Propose Overturning The First Amendment Adam Schiff and a group of Democrats introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision, one of the greatest free-speech victories in history. It's just a political stunt, of course, as Schiff doesn't have the votes. But it does reflect the authoritarian outlook of the contemporary left on free expression. https://www.amazon.com/Eurotrash-America-Reject-Failed-Continent/dp/0063066017/ Freedom foundation discussion with Erin Volz, Washington State outreach director and National Outreach director Matthew Hayward. www.optouttoday.com Chris Hoar, founder of Satellite Phone Store.

How does faith equip us to fight against such a great evil as the enslavement of individuals? To share more about this we invited Jo Lembo, Director of Faith Initiatives and National Outreach for Shared Hope International. Jo explains how Shared Hope began on a "miracle" and has since relied on the Holy Spirit to continue its goal to change the tide of trafficking, "one life at a time." She also dives into some of the national initiatives Shared Hope has launched which include: their state report cards on youth and child sex trafficking, faith in action toolkit, and both the Shared Hope and Shared Faith conferences. A former pastor, Jo also gives some important advice for the faith community as they enter into the battle - she also answers what she feels the church ought to "stop doing."

Jesse Heffernan, the National Outreach and Empowerment Coordinator at Faces and Voices of Recovery, is a Certified Recovery Coach who's over 16 years sober. I was lucky enough to speak to him about finding a toxic community based on similar "woundedness," wearing a wire to bust drug dealers, whether or not he's clean cut and if the word "addict" is good or bad, among many other things. NOTE: This episode is from a Facebook Live interview that I did with Jesse, which means that the audio isn't as sharp as it is on regular episodes. Please bear with that!
