January 9th BOLD Meeting:  Legal conversation



When    Monday, January 9th, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Where:  College and Career Center



Deborah Jacobson is an education attorney in the SF Bay Area representing
families and students against school districts throughout Northern
California.



This meeting will be informal, with Ms. Jacobson reviewing our rights as
parents of LD kids as well as the legal obligations the school district
must adhere to. We look forward to hearing about her experiences and advice
about how to get help for our children.



Ms. Jacobson will not discuss any individual case though participants can
ask questions that help form an opinion of the kind of circumstances under
which a lawyer might suggest seeking legal counsel. We hope to limit
discussions to questions and very brief examples.



Please note: Ms. Jacobson may not give out legal advice on any particular
case, and does not discuss specific legal fees but can discuss the statute
in the IDEA that allows for attorney fee reimbursement.
