SUMMARY:CSBA Annual Education Conference & Tradeshow
DESCRIPTION:December 3-5\, 2025\nSacramento | SAFE CREDIT UNION Convention center \nPre-Conference Presentations\nCurrent (and Future) Brown Act Issues Facing Boards\nDate: Tuesday\, December 2\, 2025\nTime: 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM\nRoom: Ballroom A10-11 \nBoards continue to face challenges from the ever-changing requirements of the Brown Act and the expectations for public access set during the pandemic. This workshop will focus on lessons learned in 2025 and preview changes coming to boards in 2026. \nPresenters:\nWilliam Tunick\, Shareholder – Dannis Woliver Kelley\nJonathan Pearl\, Shareholder – Dannis Woliver Kelley \n\nAB 218 Claims: The Liability & Financial Realities\nDate: Tuesday\, December 2\, 2025\nTime: 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM\nRoom: Ballroom A10-11 \nAssembly Bill No. 218 eliminated the statute of limitations and claim filing requirements for previously time-barred lawsuits alleging childhood sexual assault. The result has been a wave of lawsuits against school districts and other entities stemming from alleged abuse that occurred decades ago. This presentation will examine the impact of AB 218 suits on school districts as well as the inherent difficulties of defending these dated claims. We will also review recent case law and practical strategies for defending AB 218 claims and will explore financing options for school districts to help fund AB 218 verdicts and settlements. \nPresenters:\nSue Ann Salmon Evans\, Shareholder – Dannis Woliver Kelley\nKeith Yeomans\, Shareholder – Dannis Woliver Kelley \n\nCSBA Conference Presentations\nCollective Bargaining — Coping with the Scope of Representation and the Duty to Bargain in Good Faith — Chief Negotiators Tell All\nDate: Wednesday\, December 3\, 2025\nTime: 3:40 PM – 4:45 PM\nRoom: Ballroom B1 \nTwo foundational pillars of negotiations are (1) the duty to bargain in good faith and (2) “lawful limits” on negotiability (the scope of representation). Yet\, when a board and its chief negotiators push back to limit negotiability\, their commitment to good faith is often questioned and challenged. As more and more technology\, social and instructional issues make their way to the table— AI\, cell phones\, student behavior\, parental rights\, ethnic studies and safety\, the tension between the great pillars intensifies. Panelists and attorneys Dannis\, Pearl and Nakamura have negotiated hundreds of agreements. They will first lay out the applicable law\, then identify the tension between the great pillars\, and then offer practical strategies for board members and their bargaining teams to address cutting edge issues ever mindful of the best interests of students. \nPresenters:\nMarie Nakamura – Shareholder\, Dannis Woliver Kelley\nJonathan Pearl – Shareholder\, Dannis Woliver Kelley\nGregory Dannis – Shareholder\, Dannis Woliver Kelley \n\nReporting Gifts and Other Sources of Income: Form 700 Guidance and Reporting Under the Political Reform Act\nDate: Thursday\, December 4\, 2025\nTime: 9:00 AM – 10:05 AM\nRoom: Ballroom A9 \nEvery elected official who makes governmental decisions\, including school board and county office of education members\, is required to submit Form 700\, Statement of Economic Interests.

Whatever your experience\, have you ever had that moment when you ask yourself “What leaves does this employee get?” Local Educational Agencies are required to apply Federal\, State and Educational Leaves. In addition to the leave laws like PDL\, FMLA and CFRA\, agencies must also consider leaves under accommodation laws such as ADA and PWFA. Sometimes it’s straight forward but more often than not it feels like you are in a wild environment where some wild vine or weird creature is going to grab or snag you and pull you under. Don’t be afraid we are here to help you with those wild leave questions. Join us for an interactive discussion where we explore the different kinds of employee leave and how to coordinate them based upon real life scenarios. \nKey Takeaways:\n• Identify the appropriate leaves and interconnection of paid and unpaid leaves and other accommodation laws with each other\n• Learn how certain leaves are inter-related and strategies for navigating and coordinating employee leaves\n• Other helpful written resources
