Do not rely on persons who know less about the law than you—but think they know more. Do not enter into any agreements or sign any letter or statements until you have sought and secured advice. Do not try to represent yourself before the board of education. Seek competent advice before taking action. Describe the situation fully and edit all communications written by you. Do not make any notations on correspondence received from the board of education, superintendent, or principal. Keep accurate notes. Avoid public statements. They may impede finding a solution to the problem. Attach copies of all correspondence you have either received or sent that pertains to your problem. Failure to do so will result in unnecessary delays in the handling of your request.
