How can the board attorney best navigate those times when the superintendent/chancellor (and senior staff) and the board vehemently disagree about an important issue? How do you advise a board when the position it wants to take is so legally untenable that you're concerned about defending it? How do you maintain strong working relationships with board employees when they have an increasing tendency to "bad-mouth" their board (or specific board members)?
The COVID era has presented all education attorneys with fertile ground for close examination of how we can uphold our ethical responsibilities as attorneys when faced with the personality and political dynamics of an educational institution's governing board.
