To assist our new and veteran unit presidents in navigating another uncertain school year, CAS will be hosting a Zoom Legal Workshop with our CAS Attorneys, Mike Starvaggi and Brad Stuhler, on Thursday, October 14th at 4:30 pm.
We know you have many questions and we would like to shape a legal agenda appropriate to the needs of our CAS unit leaders. Items for discussion by the lawyers may include the following topics:
COVID- contact tracing– How should units handle contract tracing going forward?
COVID – mandatory testing and vaccination requirements – Can a district require weekly testing? Does it violate HIPPA? Who should collect vaccination cards?
Administrator liability during COVID-19 – anti/mask and anti/vax parents lawsuits – Are you protected from these types of lawsuits?
Shortened administrative probationary period (CAS legislation) – What does the law state and to whom does it apply?
Negotiations and contracts– What are the trends and how is inflation impacting negotiations
APPR questions and concerns for 21-22
If you plan on attending, please complete this Google Form.

If you would like to discuss additional items or issues of concern, please feel free to add them to the form, and we will add them to the agenda. Of course, if you have any questions, please call or email Mike or Brad and they will get right back to you.
We are looking forward to meeting with all of you and thank you for allowing us to represent you and the members of your organization!

CAS Presents Workshops for Probationary Administrators
2021-11-30 16:00 - 18:00
Despite the challenges of the Covid pandemic, well over 130 enthusiastic new and probationary public-school administrators from over 40 Long Island districts participated in two virtual CAS workshops in November. Both the New and Probationary Public School Administrator workshops were presented by veteran CAS Attorneys Brad Stuhler and Michael Starvaggi. The number of probationers attending this year reflects the growing number of younger administrators now working throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
The first part of the workshops addressed the legal aspects of administrative tenure, seniority, and frequent workplace pitfalls new administrators confront. The second part of the workshop focused on concerns regarding school safety, student discipline, and other common workplace issues facing new administrators. Brad and Mike provided practical guidance, best practices, and common-sense strategies for success through scenarios involving students, staff, and parents based on their recent experiences. Many participants remained after the workshop to ask Brad and Mike personal questions.
CAS is a certified NYSED Continuing Teacher Leader Education (CTLE) sponsor, and successful participants earned two (2) hours of CTLE professional development credit applicable toward the hours needed for continuing certification.
Additional CAS CTLE Workshops are scheduled throughout the school year and communicated through email and the www.casliny.com website.
