Animal House! Responding to Service Animal Requests from Students, Employees, and Members of the Public

About the program:

As service animals become more prevalent in public spaces, it’s increasingly important for schools to understand their legal obligations and best practices for accommodating individuals with disabilities who require them. This webinar will provide a detailed overview of the legal framework surrounding service animals in public schools as they relate to students, employees, and other members of the public, including:

• State and federal service animal laws
• The intersection of the IDEA, Section 504, and the ADA
• Service animals and FAPE
• Service animals and the interactive process (employees)
• Service animal policies

Join employment attorney Sarah Freeman and disability rights attorney Elizabeth Trautz on December 10, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. for a 90-minute webinar exploring the legal and practical aspects of service animals in schools. Attendees will receive a template policy on service animals in schools as part of this registration package.

This program is recommended for school building administrators, superintendents, special education directors and coordinators, Section 504 coordinators, employee supervisors, human resources directors, and other personnel involved in the administration and oversight of public school districts.
