Webinar: Special Education Bootcamp - Compliance Foundations Under IDEA
Presenters
Jordan M. Bullinger , Vickie L. Coe
Whether you are new to special education leadership or looking to reinforce your foundational knowledge, this interactive webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the core compliance requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Designed for school leaders who are responsible for ensuring legally sound practices, this session will offer practical tools and strategies to help participants navigate common procedural and substantive pitfalls, support sound decision-making, and build a compliant and student-centered special education program.
Navigating the complexities of special education law requires more than just familiarity with legal texts—it demands the ability to apply that knowledge in real-world school settings. This webinar will address recurring issues that often challenge districts and walk away with clear, proactive approaches to help avoid costly mistakes. At the first session in a larger webinar series planned for the 2025–2026 school year, we will establish the legal groundwork necessary to effectively engage with upcoming topics such as Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), discipline, and IEP development.
This session will be led by Jordan Bullinger and Vickie Coe, experienced education attorneys with Clark Hill’s Education Law Group. Together, they bring extensive experience representing school districts in special education and disability law matters, as well as training educators and administrators across Michigan. Their combined legal insight and practical guidance will help participants strengthen their understanding and confidently lead legally compliant, student-focused special education programs.
Registration fees are $25 per person for Clark Hill retainer clients and $45 per person for all others.
