The Office of the General Counsel is responsible for providing proactive legal advice to the School Board, Superintendent, and School District on all legal matters relating to the operations of the District, and for representing the School Board and Superintendent in legal and administrative proceedings. The General Counsel advises the School Board at all School Board meetings. When the School Board sits as a quasi-judicial body deciding employee discipline cases and student expulsions, the General Counsel advises the Board. A contract attorney has been designated to represent the Superintendent’s position in such cases.
