In addition, we counsel schools on a wide array of employment and labor relations issues such as employee due process, tenure, constitutional and civil rights, terminations, discipline, evaluations, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, leave, accommodations, benefits and compensation. We also supply teacher and administrator training, and assist with both collective bargaining and grievance resolution.
The attorneys in our School Law practice also actively advise schools regarding student matters relating to abuse, bullying, corporal punishment, harassment, special education, safety, expulsion, suspension, athletics, drug testing, education records and constitutional and civil rights issues.
We regularly are involved in matters involving school board structure and policies, curriculum development, and compliance, and work with clients to resolve matters arising under Title IX, Section 504, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Indiana's Article 7.
In addition, our practice also includes those legal issues facing schools that are important to a successful school operation, such as real estate, software licenses, equipment purchase negotiations, intellectual property rights, employee benefits, general litigation, and construction.
