2025 Summer Conference Recap
This year’s Summer Law Conference, presented by Eichelbaum Wardell Hansen Powell & Muñoz, P.C. was again a full-day conference, and included five General Sessions and five breakout sessions. Legal Updates, Emerging Legal Issues, Commissioner Rulings, Grievances and 30 Best Practices were covered during General Sessions. Breakout session topics included Documentation, ADA and Leaves, DOI, Investigations and Non-renewals/Terminations. TASPA values its continued partnership with Eichelbaum, and we are appreciative of the professional development and continuing education they provide our members.
The TASPA Summer Conference included three general sessions and 28 breakout sessions which included over 40 speakers. David Anderson from HillCo Partners opened our conference with a Legislative Session update. Breakout session presenters included speakers from law firms Eichelbaum Wardell Hansen Powell & Muñoz, P.C.; Walsh Gallegos Kyle, Robinson & Roalson, P.C.; Thompson & Horton LLP; Escamilla & Poneck LLP; and The Law Office of Tiger Hanner. We also had speakers from TEA, TRS, TASB HR Services and many other experts who provided excellent sessions covering a range of topics. We also appreciate the school districts that shared their best practices by participating in breakouts sessions: Spring ISD, Highland Park ISD, College Station ISD, Hutto ISD and Fort Worth ISD.
The Summer Conference provided opportunities for all six TASPA districts to hold meetings. These district meetings are critical in providing structure to our association and allow for district members to elect their TASPA district representatives and committee members. Thank you to all six TASPA Districts for contributing a raffle basket!
And finally, the Closing General Session featured Marilyn Cook, The Texas Education Agency. She presented a Certification update.
