School Law

One of government's most important functions is to provide adequate education to children through the public school system. Although the states have primary responsibility for the maintenance and operation of public schools, the federal government's role has increased over the years. With a growing number of state and federal regulations, it is often difficult for educators and the families of students to keep up with their legal rights and responsibilities.

The lawyers at Smith & Turley represent schools and the families of students in a variety of questions concerning public education including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Equal Education Opportunities Act. School administrators, as well as the families of students, often benefit from brief consultations concerning the growing body of law surrounding public education.
