Legal team gets an A+ for charter school.
When the South Lane School District in Cottage Grove, Oregon decided to terminate the charter of one of its charter schools, attorney Matthew Lowe did his homework. He represented the charter school before a hearings officer in the first charter school hearing of its type in the state. The finding? A final order that determined the school district had wrongfully terminated the charter. The termination was overturned by the Oregon Department of Education and school was back in session.
