We fight better when we stand together

CSBA’s Education Legal Alliance initiates and supports litigation in cases of statewide significance to all California schools. It successfully pursues and defends the broad spectrum of statewide public education interests in the courts and before state agencies. Working with school attorneys throughout the state, the Alliance is a powerful force taking school districts, county offices of education and ROP/Cs' side in the courts. In cases ranging from property tax administration fees to the special education mandated cost claim, the Alliance has proven highly effective, both saving and gaining schools literally millions of dollars and protecting the governance role of the board.

Major accomplishments include:

  • LAUSD takeover unconstitutional
  • Amicus briefs in support of districts
  • Reimbursable mandates will be paid
