Our attorneys have broad experience in advising school districts on legal issues related to personnel actions.

We routinely assist school districts and charter schools:

  • Retain your best employees and terminate staff when required
  • Determine what speech is protected, who may have access to the school facilities, what may be accessed via the Internet in your school and other Constitutional issues
  • Defend against claims of civil rights violations based on race, sex, age, disability and religion
  • Avoid claims under the Whistleblower Act
  • Protect the school district through reduction in force or staff reassignments
  • Resolve problems regarding breach of contract, grievances, unemployment compensation, workers' compensation or failure to hire allegations
  • Understand the Fair Labor Standards Act and what it means to you
  • Handle certification suspension and revocation matters
  • Use the best procedures for pre-employment screening and post-employment references
