The Education team
has solid experience in all facets of education law, including
constitutional law, employment, student issues, special education,
workers’ compensation, finance, real estate, contracts, legislative
policy and advocacy and other related issues. Our attorneys are
regularly consulted by many school boards in planning for major
policy changes or undertaking serious ventures. Many local school
board attorneys consult with our lawyers to assist in the
representation of their local school clients. We have knowledge and
experience in analysis of the legal issues related to the
administration of a school system.
Our attorneys work
closely with school boards, local board attorneys, superintendents,
and public organizations. We serve as trainers for school boards and
school staff, and often conduct seminars and lectures for the
benefit of the education community. There are many aspects of public
finance law that are interrelated and impacted by other education
law and policy issues. A working knowledge of tax base issues and
annexation law, gained through years of experience in these areas,
can be critical to the successful implementation of a district’s
long term strategic plan.
