Trustee to research small‑district legal support option presented at SSDA
Summary
Trustee Krystal Craven summarized a legal support program offered at the SSDA conference that would provide unlimited telephone consultations at $1.50 per ADA (about $90 annually for SCJUSD). The board asked Craven to gather more information from districts using the service; no procurement decision was made.
Trustee Krystal Craven told the board about a legal services model presented at the Small School Districts Association conference: a law firm would provide unlimited telephone consultations to small districts at $1.50 per ADA. Craven said, “The plan includes unlimited telephone consultations for $1.50 per ADA, which would total approximately $90 annually for SCJUSD.”
Board members discussed whether such a plan could replace or supplement existing counsel; they requested additional information about scope and user experience. The trustees unanimously approved a motion directing Trustee Craven to contact other districts that use the service and report back, with no immediate change to current legal providers.
