Education (Institution/District)

Schools and school districts operate under a dense web of state and federal law. We advise educational institutions and districts on governance, personnel, students and compliance, so boards and administrators can stay focused on education.

Advice for districts, boards and administrators

From board meetings to the classroom, we help institutions make decisions that hold up and follow the rules that apply to public education.

  • Board governance, policies and open meeting law
  • Personnel, employment contracts and discipline
  • Student discipline and due process
  • Special education and disability requirements
  • Student records, privacy and public records requests
  • Facilities, contracts and purchasing

Hearings and disputes

When a matter reaches an administrative hearing or court, we represent the institution and help it move forward.

Who we work with

  • School districts and boards of trustees
  • Schools and educational institutions
  • Administrators acting on behalf of their institution
