Our firm provides comprehensive legal counsel to K–12 public school districts on the full spectrum of issues that arise in the field of education law. We advise superintendents, treasurers, administrators, and boards of education on matters involving student rights, discipline procedures, residency determinations, and attendance enforcement. We assist districts in crafting and implementing legally sound policies for suspensions, expulsions, and other disciplinary actions, ensuring due process requirements are met while supporting safe and effective learning environments.

We have extensive experience navigating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other student privacy laws, guiding districts in maintaining compliance when managing, sharing, or securing student records. Our practice also includes advising on Title IX enforcement, including policy development, investigative procedures, and resolution of complaints related to sex discrimination and harassment.

Beyond these core areas, we assist school leaders in addressing the wide range of regulatory obligations that govern Ohio’s public education system. Our goal is to provide proactive, practical legal solutions that not only ensure compliance, but also empower districts to make informed decisions that serve the best interests of students and the school community.
