Education Law
Our experienced attorneys will assist you in resolving disputes with local educational agencies and school officials by representing you in negotiations with school districts, at mediation or in due process proceedings. We will represent your student before the school board when his or her due process rights are violated in a disciplinary action. We will file complaints with the Office of Civil Rights and the Vermont Human Rights Commission when your child is harassed at school by his peers.
We work to ensure your special-needs child receives the early intervention and special education services, and other related services, including occupational, physical and speech-related services, mental health services, language and autism services he or she may be entitled to under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and Vermont’s Special Education Laws. Our lawyers understand the interplay between education and public benefits and will assist you in accessing those services as well.
