In this episode, recorded before the pandemic, Christina and Miriam discuss a complicated and sensitive topic: parents who are registered as sex offenders, but still have various rights when it comes to participating in their own children's education.  How should a district respond if a registered offender wants to attend his or her child's classroom birthday party? What about a parent offender who wants to attend public Board meetings?  And who should be made aware of the parent's status as a sex offender? After a brief review of federal laws related to sex offender registration, Christina and Miriam address these and other challenging questions that administrators must navigate in these complex circumstances.
