(from Venable) Here are some points to consider when refining your school's enrollment contract for the next school year:
- COVID-19: Consider streamlining some of the language related to pandemic policies.
- Mental health: Reaffirm a commitment to work in partnership to respond to rising student mental health issues.
- Gender neutral pronouns: These are becoming increasingly common and expected by families.
- Student digital privacy: Be sure you are complying with Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
- Indemnification clauses: Include this language to avoid risk against third-party exposures.
- Attorney's fees: Consider who will pay the fee should a dispute arise.
