PART 1: CREATING A CULTURE OF WELLBEING, Sept. 22, 12-1 p.m.
PRESENTED BY ROSIE WARD, PH.D., HEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES MANAGER AT RJF
How can wellness efforts in the district translate into organizational effectiveness? By broadening the scope to create a culture of well-being, safety and employee engagement. High performing districts recognize the value of their human capital and invest in their employees to build on their strengths. Typical approaches to wellness programs are short-sighted and not enough to have long-term success; health is only a fraction of a bigger, more complex picture of what impacts the district. Increased well-being and engagement result from supporting individual intrinsic values and creating a culture that supports employee growth and development. This session will provide a framework for focusing on district employee well-being as a means to individual well-being.

PART 2: GUNS AT SCHOOL? THE NEW REALITY AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE DISTRICT, Oct. 20, 12-1 p.m.
PRESENTED BY ANDREW PHILLIPS, ATTORNEY AND SHAREHOLDER AT LAW FIRM PHILLIPSBOROWSKI, S.C.
Wisconsin is now the 49th state in the U.S. to allow its citizens to carry concealed firearms. 2011 Wisconsin Act 35 changed the landscape of the law surrounding a citizen’s ability to carry concealed weapons. While the new law prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons on school grounds, the new law does allow licensees to possess firearms within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school and nevertheless has other important ramifications for schools to consider.
- How are schools affected by the new law?
- What are school districts’ rights and responsibilities under the state statute?
- What is the interplay between the state’s new concealed carry law and the federal Gun Free School Zone law?
