ISFIS Special Topic Video Series -
2023 Session Impact on the Classroom

August 2023

ISFIS has prepared a series of summary videos to help district leaders and staff kick off the school year informed about the many laws and requirements enacted by the 2023 Legislature. Several ways to use this video series: 1) district leadership could review and put together their own explanations or content for staff to consider, 2) could share the videos with staff and discuss implications regarding the next steps as they prepare for students, or 3) pick and choose which videos are most important for staff. Each video has a corresponding PPT that can be downloaded and personalized. 

  • Video Series Introduction & Purpose (4 minutes) - Video and PPT
  • HF 430 Mandatory Reporting & Hiring Practices (5 minutes) - Video and PPT
