Marshall Ney has been making the rounds on the speaking circuit recently in Northwest Arkansas discussing education law, special education law and related matters.
He spoke to the Harding University Master of Education in Educational Leadership class about the role of the judicial system in K-12 schools, the impact of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), other special education legal updates and practical tips for legal compliance, which is always a hot topic for educators.
Marshall then presented to building level special education designees in a local school district on IDEA compliance and practical guidance.
Earlier this month (August) he spoke to another local school district about ADA compliance and OCR enforcement actions and followed up that speech with a presentation a few days later to an education service cooperative, where his training was focused on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, FOIA, social media best practices and IDEA updates.
