I practiced law for five years. Then I switched careers and became a high school teacher for 26 years. Retiring from the classroom in 2018, I reinstated my law license in 2020.
I was not an angel as a teacher. I made mistakes like we all do. I am no better or no worse than the educators involved in these court cases. I write the Educator Court Case blog posts to learn from their experiences. I was not involved in any of these court cases.
With experience in the law profession and another in Pennsylvania's public schools, I speak two different languages. The William Penn v. PDE Commonwealth Court opinion regarding state funding of our public schools is a mixture of both. I hope to learn more about the legal issues raised by the petitioners and the responses of the state government officials. As this legal struggle continues, I'll post a summary of what I find here.
