In-house counsel for Educational Institutions

Smaller school districts generally lack the ability to have in-house counsel that specializes in educational law. Even lawyers who work in the educational law sector typically lack the experience Dr. Harris possesses, as she is a former Superintendent of School. Dr. Harris will intertwine her educational practitioner experience with her legal skills to serve as in house counsel for charter and traditional schools. As in house counsel, Dr. Harris will attend regular and special Board meetings and provide legal advice, and assist in drafting legal documents and policies, advise the Board and Superintendent or Head of School in all legal matters, and represent the Board and its members in administrative and judicial proceedings. Since Dr. Harris possesses an educational background, she easily understands current and potential threats to your school district and can provide solutions to effectively resolve your concerns. Additionally, she can perform internal investigations, address employment law matters, resolve compliance issues, and conduct presentations on vital legal topics for school personnel. Further, she can help navigate charter school renewal and revise charter standards. Contact her today to schedule a free fifteen-minute in house counsel consultation appointment.
