Of Counsel
Patti Page, a co-founder of the firm, is an experienced litigator in education law matters relating to students, including special education and disabilities law, discrimination, harassment, confidentiality and school records, and student discipline. She sees public schools as one of the last bridges among people of diverse social and economic backgrounds.
“No other institution provides the level playing field that public education does. Public means everyone. That is what makes public education unique, irreplaceable and challenging. Public education has become a cornerstone of our democracy; something worth our attention and protection.”
In her new role as Of Counsel, Patti primarily presents in-services for clients, and seminars on a range of topics, from special education and Section 504 to harassment and school records issues. Over the years, she has presented for the Vermont Department of Education, Vermont Council of Special Education Administrators, the Vermont School Boards Association, and others. She has taught special education classes at Castleton State College, Lyndon State College and the University of Vermont.
