Legal Services

NHSBA can best assist your school board by answering questions of a general nature, especially questions that can be answered by reference to state statutes, regulations or school board policies. If an answer hinges on detailed facts, our Staff Attorney may recommend that your board consult with your school district’s regular legal counsel. These kinds of complex situations require fact-specific analysis in order to give you a legally sound answer. In those situations, such an inquiry may be beyond the scope of our legal services. Also, since NHSBA does not represent member school boards in court, your board’s regular legal counsel, the attorney who will represent you if the matter ends up in court, is the most appropriate legal counsel.
