A representative of EdCounsel delivered a presentation to the Marshall School Board during its meeting on Tuesday, August 23.

Duane Martin made a presentation to consult and assist the district with a revision of faculty staff handbooks, student parent handbooks, and board manuals. Martin said EdCounsel provides legal service to more than 240 schools districts in Missouri.

Martin stated that EdCounsel would streamline and update handbooks for faculty and staff, students and parents and a board manual. The estimated cost of the proposal is between $4,200 and $8,500.

After some discussion, the board accepted the proposal and passed a motion to bring on EdCounsel to work on the various handbooks in the district.
