Forward-Thinking Legal Guidance: Independent Study

YM&C lawyers are seasoned experts in the complex convergence of charter school and independent study laws across the state. This encompasses adeptly safeguarding charter schools during audits, audit appeals, and litigation concerning facility placements. We offer invaluable guidance to clients in formulating and maintaining legally sound board policies, master agreements, and often scrutinized independent study documents. Our legal representation vigorously defends charter schools facing audit discrepancies, presenting their case before the Education Audit Appeals Panel. In addition, we excel in aiding charter schools in navigating the intricate legal framework surrounding independent study students eligible under the IDEA or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
