How we may help
Our advocates can:
- Help get your child registered for school.
- Represent your child in unfair suspension, expulsion or transfer permit denial hearings, and in court if necessary.
- Overcome illegal fees.
- Get transcripts from schools that wrongly hold them for money.
- Give advice or refer you to other sources of help.
- Talk about school issues to community groups or social services agencies.
How to get help
All of our program offices handle school problems. If you have an emergency, we will see you as soon as we can. We ask that you call first if your problem is not an emergency. Click here to find the office nearest you. When you come in, bring all the papers you have about your problem.
If you can't come in
If you are disabled or you cannot travel to one of our offices, call us to arrange a telephone intake interview.
Emergencies
You can lose important rights by waiting too long to get help. If you have an emergency (such as a hearing or a deadline), call our nearest office and explain. If you cannot reach us by phone, come to the office nearest you with all the papers you have about your problem.
