Season 5 Episode 5: Dealing with “Drama Mamas” (and “Drama Papas”) - When Parents Misbehave

Like staff and students, parents can have bad days too. But sometimes their conduct crosses a line, leading school administrators to wonder if they can ban hostile or aggressive parents from school grounds altogether. What should school districts consider before taking such a drastic step? What sort of legal challenges can boards anticipate when parents are restricted from school buildings and how can administrators place their districts in the best possible position to have their decisions upheld by a court or agency? Join Lisa, Megan, and Miriam to discuss best legal practices in handling difficult conflicts with badly-behaving parents.
