As the legal and regulatory environment continues to evolve, independent school leaders must stay informed about emerging federal issues that impact governance and strategic decision-making. Join Justin A. Perillo, General Counsel at NAIS, for a timely briefing on recent federal developments impacting independent schools. This session will equip Board Chairs with a timely overview of key developments in three critical areas:

• DEI Initiatives: Updates on federal activity and regulatory trends affecting DEI initiatives in schools, including implications for board-level oversight and policy setting.
• Gender Identity: A review of federal guidance and litigation involving gender rights in education, with practical governance considerations for supporting inclusive policies while navigating legal boundaries.
• AI Deepfakes & the Take It Down Act: Emerging risks from AI-generated content targeting students and new legal responsibilities under the Take It Down Act.

This session offers practical insights and governance guidance in a fast-evolving legal environment.
