9:45 a.m. Strategic management of electronic information
School districts should create, understand and manage electronic information with the same precision and strategy they expect of their physical assets. Often they do not and, as a result, they violate express regulations, create and maintain communications that increase the likelihood of liability, and put themselves in an undesirable strategic position in litigation. This session will review with attendees key points in liability-minimizing electronic records management using a case study approach.
William A. Nolan, Esq., Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, L.L.P., Columbus

The Board has changed its focus, now preparing to make recommendations for health care best practices. Representatives of the Board will be present to discuss the best practices recommendations and answer your questions about health care for school employees.
Van Keating, director of management services, OSBA; and Bruce J. Gilbert, executive director, School Employees Health Care Board
