HOOVER, Ala. — May 14, 2015 — A national expert in education law will provide a keynote address at the upcoming conference of the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO). Pepperdine University law professor Bernie James will speak during a general session of NASRO’s 25th annual School Safety Conference, which will take place July 5-10, 2015 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida. The Florida Association of School Resource Officers (FASRO) will host the conference.
James specializes in civil rights, constitutional law and education law. He is author of the textbook “Education Policy and the Law: Cases and Commentary” and numerous articles on law, education and religion. He lectures in the U.S. and Canada on constitutional issues, and serves as a commentator on U.S. Supreme Court decisions for national and local media. He is also a contributing editor of the NASRO publication “Journal of School Safety.”
“Professor James is an extremely valuable resource to the school policing community,” said NASRO executive director Mo Canady. “He has been a friend to NASRO for almost two decades. His sessions at our past national conferences have been highlights for attendees.”
Last year, 800 people attended the annual NASRO conference, including school resource officers (SROs) and other law enforcement officers, as well as school security and safety officials, school board members, administrators and others interested in school safety.
The conference offers attendees an opportunity to earn 30 hours of training; visit an exhibit hall with the latest in products, technology and innovations; complete NASRO training courses on-site at no additional charge; and interact with SROs, school administrators, sheriffs and chiefs of police from throughout the country and world. Available training includes NASRO’s Basic SRO Course, ideal for the many law enforcement officers who are newly assigned to work in schools.
