The Legal Department supports the district’s mission by providing comprehensive legal guidance to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws. We work closely with administrators, staff, and stakeholders to address matters related to education law, employee and student rights, policy development, contracts, and more. Our goal is to help maintain a safe, fair, and legally sound environment for learning and working across the district.
Our General Counsel to the Superintendent is James Greene. The General Counsel is responsible for providing direct, full-time professional legal counsel to the Superintendent and District administrative staff on matters affecting the operation of the school system.
Also located in the Office of the General Counsel is our Civil Rights Compliance Manager, Sheila Blue. The Civil Rights Compliance (CRC) Manager is responsible for managing and monitoring equal employment and educational opportunity activities, and ensuring compliance with applicable local, state, and federal rules and regulations, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, Florida Educational Equity Act (EEA), and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
