Free Speech Violations, including Retaliation for Speaking Out
When a student or parent complains to public school officials about a legitimate concern and those school officials retaliate against the student or parent, this could be in violation of the right to free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution. We will defend your right to free speech without retaliation when public officials attempt to intimidate and silence you.
Exhaust Administrative Remedies
For most legal matters, including education-related matters, a certain process must be followed. Before filing a lawsuit in court, all administrative remedies, including hearings, department decision reviews and appeals processes, may need to be exhausted. Schools may require that students take administrative action, like appeals, within days of notification of a decision. It is crucial that all appeals be utilized, regardless of what you think outcome will be. If all administrative proceedings are not exhausted before initiating litigation, the school may use that as a defense to the suit in an effort to have it dismissed.
