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.

BOLD is a support group for parents of children with Learning Differences. This group, formed in 2013 by Berkeley High parents, meets on the 2ndMonday* of the month at Berkeley High usually in the College and Career Center. BOLD is dedicated to finding ways to support, empower and educate students with learning disabilities and their families by fostering understanding and advocating for effective intervention.

Our meetings present helpful informational topics relevant to parents of high school students with learning disabilities and forums where parents can voice their concerns, find resources and information and find a community.
