From concussion protocols and eligibility disputes to booster clubs and naming rights, school sports are not just about touchdowns and trophies – they are a minefield of legal issues that can impact students, families and schools alike. On this episode of the Legal Lunch Room, we explore the legal obligations schools have when it comes to student athletics. To coach us through these issues, we’re joined by education attorney Alyssa Hicks and Tom Duffy, Superintendent of Dallas School District. We hope you’ll tune in.
