Summary:
|
The District continues to work to keep our legal costs to the lowest possible level, while also ensuring we have experts in different specific legal areas related directly to school districts (e.g. litigation, special education, etc.). Attached is a contract renewal for legal services to be provided by Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost, LLP. The aforementioned firm serves the District at a competitive billable hourly rate and has provided specialized legal services to the District for many years with valuable assistance with a variety of cases and litigation. The billable hourly rates as to the District remain below billable hourly rates in the Bay Area legal community.
