EdCounsel Insights
This podcast features host Duane Martin and other members of the EdCounsel team, who provide the latest updates on legal issues facing Missouri public schools. In each episode, the host will take a current legal topic and provide practical insights into how to manage the legal risks and compliance issues related to that topic. In January 2014, four school attorneys left the school law practice at former firms to found a completely different type of law firm – one whose sole purpose is to serve Missouri public school districts. EdCounsel is now a team of 12 attorneys who are dedicated to public schools and public school leaders.

Board members are often well-intentioned, but sometimes misguided in their actions. Personal agendas, confidentiality expectations, general ethical roles, and absence from board meetings can all create legal stumbling blocks for school districts. In this podcast, Duane visits with firm partners, Emily and Drew, who also both serve on their local school boards. The team addresses examples and solutions for board members behaving badly.
