We help school districts run their HR departments, almost like having education-focused employment lawyers on site. That’s what we do, and our goal is simple: taking care of the legal side so schools can do what they do best: educate kids. School districts are incredibly complex legal entities with traditional employment matters and some that are unique to public education. With more than 80 attorneys focused exclusively on educators and education law, an answer or solution is just a phone call away. Many attorneys in our firm began their careers as teachers, aides, and administrators, providing them with a unique perspective on the needs and priorities of public education agencies. We know the law, the subtleties, and importantly, the impact decisions will have on your mission: providing the best education possible to California’s students.
Do you have questions about how employee leaves and accommodations apply to a particular employee? What process do you follow if there are allegations of discrimination, or harassment? What is the correct legal classification of a temporary teacher? What rules cover dismissals and layoffs when each may be governed by external laws, collective bargaining agreement and board polices? Are your administrator contracts up-to-date and legally compliant? If these sound like the kinds of questions you wrestle with, F3 knows how to help.
