(From Venable LLP) As schools gear up for the 2024-2025 academic year, updating their handbooks is essential to meet new challenges. Legal experts at Venable LLP recommend considering the following policies:

  • Name, image, and likeness: Outline permissible activities and endorsements in respect to state laws and regulations governing the compensation of high school athletes.
  • Employees' political activity: Set clear expectations for employees to maintain professional boundaries and avoid disrupting school operations with personal views.
  • Artificial intelligence use: Outline the appropriate use of AI tools by students and staff, addressing copyright, plagiarism and privacy concerns related to the use of generative AI tools.
  • NLRA developments: Make sure your policies addresses employees' rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), particularly in light of the NLRB's new standard for evaluating workplace rules.
