Elementary, Secondary, Adult, and Career/Technical Education

Public and private schools today face an increasingly complex federal compliance landscape. Our K–12 Education Law team draws on decades of federal experience to guide schools, school districts, state agencies, and nonprofits through the statutes and regulations that govern preschool, elementary, secondary, adult, and career and technical education.

We provide comprehensive counsel on programs authorized under statutes such as the:

·       Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA);

·       McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act;

·       Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA);

·       Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV);

·       Education Sciences Reform Act (ESRA); and

·       Education Flexibility Partnership Act of 1999.

We also advise on equitable services to private school students and teachers, charter school laws, school choice, voucher programs, civil rights obligations, and equity in access to high-quality education. Our attorneys represent clients in federal and state audits, administrative appeals, and program reviews, as well as in the development of policies and procedures that ensure compliance while supporting educational mission.

From designing proactive compliance strategies to defending funding in enforcement proceedings, Sligo Law Group provides the expertise schools need to navigate daily operational challenges and protect their long-term educational priorities.
