Department of Education


There are 501 school districts in Pennsylvania as well as publicly-funded charter schools and other school entities in which a teacher certificate from the Pennsylvania Department of Education is required.


I come from a family of teachers. My mom, my brother, my son, and four cousins have worked in the classroom. I know aspiring teachers invest their money to get an education and that teaching demands devotion, long hours to prepare for class and energy to teach children.


If you face discipline by the Professional Standards and Practices Commission or a hearing before a school board, I can put my experience to work for you. As a private attorney I successfully represented public school employees before the school board. As a hearing officer I conducted hearings and wrote proposed decisions under the Educator Discipline Act.


In an initial Free Consultation I can explain the disciplinary process, and propose a plan of action.
