SUMMARY:Employee Handbook Refresher Course for Independent Schools 2026
DESCRIPTION:As independent schools head towards the close of the academic year and prepare for summer\, now is the right time to dust off your employee handbook for a fresh review.

This webinar will cover the foundational policies for an employee handbook\, such as policies relating to non-discrimination\, accommodations\, investigations\, professional boundaries\, progressive discipline policies\, and clear polices and procedures for reporting and responding to harassment or workplace misconduct. We will provide attendees with a sample table of contents to help schools ensure that they are covering all the policies that generally apply to independent schools.
