About the Webinar:

The unfortunate truth is that we live in a litigious society. As a not-for-profit corporation, charter schools are not exempt from lawsuits and should have a plan for how they respond if they are ever sued. When the school is served regarding a lawsuit, what exactly should the next steps be? What do school administrators and Governing Boards need to do, and not do, to ensure they are protected moving forward and defending the school. When should an attorney be called, and how much can the school expect to spend? These are all variables that should be considered when developing a plan for responding to potential lawsuits. Join us to learn more for this presentation by Amber Ashton, a senior associate attorney with de Beaubien, Knight, Simmons, Mantzaris & Neal, LLP.
