I told the parent, “The teacher will be back in 2 months. She’s out for medical reasons… on a restoration of health.” Did I violate HIPPA Laws by saying this??

For any future inquiries, it could avoid misunderstandings to check with the school administration as to what they want you to say. They could have a standard statement that they want the staff to use in such settings. Good luck

This may be more a personal injury law question than one about educational law. I'm sorry about the assault on your daughter. I hope she is okay. These scenarios are fact-intensive and require examination of school's supervision and other factors. I recommend you reach out to law firms to... Read more »

If you are merely helping out without pay the I would not consider it employment.

It could depend on what the matter involves. If it's something about an academic issue with a child, an educational law attorney could probably be a first option to consult with. If it involves employment as a teacher, then an employment law attorney. If it involves an injury on school... Read more »

It would be best if an education law attorney advised here, but you await a response for two weeks. Until you're able to discuss this with an education law attorney, keep in mind that in general, the decision could be up to the school. Also, it could be difficult for any attorney to advise...

This is a fairly new area of law, and the rules are evolving as new technologies emerge. Test protocols could depend on the entity administering the exam. If an instructor's rules are not unduly burdensome or invasive of privacy, the academic institution would probably uphold them. A professor... Read more »

These are generally fact-intensive settings, and they can be complex. A central issue will often be whether there was a lack of supervision or negligent supervision on the part of the school (or possibly other entities, depending on the setting).

The decision to suspend your daughter's assailant (and how long to suspend her) is likely in the sole discretion of the school's principal / superintendent. Do not be surprised if you do not have any say in the matter. If the student who attacked your daughter had a history of such... Read more »

This is a serious matter. Having admitted to cheating, you have few options. You must not admit to anything again, and find a way out of this that does lead to expulsion.
