K-12 Education Legal Assistance Sessions

Presented by Advocates for Basic Legal Equality (ABLE)

Advocates for Basic Legal Equality (ABLE) attorneys and staff will present information designed for parents and caregivers who have questions and concerns about their K-12 students’ public education.

During the sessions, we will cover important topics, including special education, disciplinary actions, and English language services that will help you advocate for your student’s education and success in the classroom.

An education attorney from ABLE will be available to provide resources, answer questions, and discuss your concerns.
