Fort Lauderdale Lawyers Protecting Student’s Rights in Schools
As a parent, you are fully committed to your child’s success in school. And for the most part, teachers and school administrators share that goal. However, this unfortunately is not always the case. If you feel that your school district is impeding your child’s progress, it may be helpful to contact an attorney. The law firm of Shooster, Kahn & Kleinman is committed to helping families who have suffered serious injuries at the hands of their child’s school district.
The Individuals with Educational Disabilities Act (IDEA)
Under the IDEA, our government recognized that with certain special needs must be given certain accommodations in the classroom and at school. These accommodations may include the right to an Individualized Education Program (IEP), or other supportive services. If your child has special needs, it may be necessary for your child’s school to accommodate those needs. The IDEA compels schools to provide these services in what is referred to as the “Least Restrictive Environment” (LRE).
Under the IDEA, there are a number of administrative steps that must be taken before one can file suit. The attorneys of Shooster, Kahn & Kleinman are available to discuss your matter with you.
Bullying in Schools
You may not know where to turn if your child is the victim of bullying. Certainly, you can and should speak with your child's teachers and the school principal. But what happens when that doesn’t work?
Worse yet, what happens when the people you have entrusted your child to on a daily basis simply don't care?
If your child is being bullied in school and no one is willing to end the abuse, contact an attorney at Shooster, Kahn & Kleinman. Our attorneys have made a life out of fighting big business and big government. If retained to handle your case, we will work diligently to put an end to your child's abuse.
It's No Coincidence
It's really no coincidence that schools take action when contacted by a law firm that is respected in the local community. School administrators are very sensitive to students' rights when faced with the possibility of litigation.
