Since I have retired on June 30, 2021, I have been searching for what the next chapter in my journey will be. After spending a few months “retired”, I chose to join the School Liability Expert Group in Lambertville, New Jersey on November 8, 2021. This group works on school liability cases all over the country and in Canada on a variety of legal issues that impact schools and other youth organizations. We are hired by attorneys on cases ranging from Federal cases such as Title IX and Title VI., to bullying and harassment cases, to negligence cases. In some matters, we are working with the school district (the defense), and in other cases, we are working with the plaintiff. In my role, I am designated as a school expert where I look at the evidence presented in the case, conduct additional research into the standards, policies, and procedures that relate to the case, and formulate a written opinion. At times, if the case goes to trial, I will be called upon as an expert witness for the case. It is a very intellectually stimulating opportunity in my career where I am able to use my skills and experience as an educator and an administrator. So far, I have worked on local, state, and federal cases in multiple states.

Since I am continuing my professional career in education, albeit the legal side of education, I have decided to continue to maintain this blog where I can focus on education, leadership, and inspiration. I will focus on the heroes of education and leadership as well as the challenges educators are facing. In addition, this blog will focus on my own personal opinions, inspirational quotes, and the latest research and data on key topics in leadership and schools.

I encourage your opinions and thoughts along this journey. I hope you enjoy this blog and are inspired as to the work that leaders and educators are doing in this country!
