Legal issues related to Science and Technology

Raised concerns across the country mostly about teaching Evolution vs. Creationism. Also touched on technology policies as they affect perceived student safety issues and their right/need to carry cell phones. Bottomline, School Boards get sued on these issues. Stick to a process that works, consult experts, consult data etc..tread lightly.

To be honest this session didn't hold my interest once the audience got started with their input. I'm too task and organizationally oriented.

Let the professional educators remain responsible for curriculum.

I'm off to a more practical discussion, "Lessons learned from Districts dealing with Hurricane Katrina."
