Education Law

Both the state of California and federal law provide specific guidelines for education.

These guidelines provide that every Student is entitled to a free and appropriate public education (or a FAPE). This means different things for different children, but all school districts (and Charter Schools) are required to determine that appropriate level and provide services to each child to meet it.

Unfortunately, in today's economic climate, school districts are searching for ways to cut back on spending, and kids are being left out in terms of appropriate services. If you feel that your child is one of those kids not being served appropriately, our firm can help! With a review of educational records and a parent consultation, Economou Law Group can help your child get back on to the path to educational success.

We also provide parent and professional trainings free of charge to groups. Call today to inquire!
