Lyndsy B. Rodgers is a partner in our Los Angeles office. Lyndsy practices student and special education law, including independent study and virtual learning, Section 504 and IDEA compliance, OCR and CDE complaints, creative early dispute resolution, mediation and due process, and special education appeals.  Her education law practice tends to be multidisciplinary, and includes special education-related labor negotiations, independent study audit issues, and SELPA organization and administration, local plan review, and SELPA policy and contract development. She partners with her clients in their areas of need to provide staff training and create or update effective, meaningful policies and procedures to foster legal compliance and better serve students.

Before beginning her career in law, Lyndsy was an Executive Fellow in Governor Gray Davis’ administration, and worked on legislative and regulatory issues pertaining to children’s health insurance programs and Medi-Cal for families with children. While in Sacramento, Lyndsy got an inside-look at the State legislative and regulatory process, as well as numerous public benefit programs including SCHIP, Medicaid, school lunch programs and publicly funded school-based health clinics. These experiences greatly enrich her education law practice today.

Lyndsy received her Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., after earning a bachelor’s degree in Public Policy Analysis and Biology from Pomona College in Claremont, California.
