To help complying with state law easier for our member schools, WCRIS publishes a Legal Handbook, a one-stop guide for all state laws that impact private K-12 schools. There’s no other publication like it!
Each WCRIS member school receives one free, printed copy of the WCRIS Legal Handbook as part of their membership. WCRIS members also receive exclusive access to a digital and searchable version of the Handbook. Access it here.
If you’d like to order additional hard copies, please contact WCRIS. Member schools receive a discount!
What’s in the WCRIS Legal Handbook?
There have been several updates to the Legal Handbook since our last edition. Lawmakers and agency officials have prioritized a range of issues, resulting in new laws and updates about:
- Water supplies;
- College admission;
- Early literacy;
- Driver education;
- Immunizations;
- Emergency medical care;
- Mandatory reporting;
- Crime reporting;
- And more!
This edition includes a new feature, WCRIS Tips, throughout the Handbook. Our tips aren’t legal advice. They are suggested best practices to help schools comply with the law, based on WCRIS’ knowledge and member schools’ experiences.
