About Rachel Nicholas

I am a school board attorney and teacher at heart. I advise and train school districts on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, among other school laws. I train local, state, and national audiences on the IDEA and Section 504. I represent school boards in IDEA and Section 504 disputes. I believe in the work of educators.
