K-12 Education

Serving Mississippi’s school districts.

Mayo Mallette attorneys advise school administrators and board members on a broad range of day-to-day issues, including labor and employment, property acquisition and construction, bid laws and procurement, policy review, regulatory compliance, public records requests, special education, student privacy, and discipline procedures.

We also represent school districts in litigated matters in federal and state court, personnel hearings under Mississippi’s Education Employment Procedures Law, and due process hearings under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Mayo Mallette also serves its school district clients by staying up to date on changes to the legal landscape that affect educational institutions. Our attorneys have recently helped school districts navigate new employment legislation passed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency school closure, and reopening issues, and sweeping changes to the U.S. Department of Education’s Title IX regulations.
