Education Law

Education law is the area of law that relates to public schools, teachers and all rights relating to public education at all levels. It is vital that our schools are well-equipped to provide a rich learning experience for our students. Today’s youth are our future and we have a duty to make sure they are given every opportunity to thrive and excel.
