SCHOOL DISTRICT LIABILITY EXPERT

Sexual Harassment, Misconduct, Discrimination, & Bullying

I will provide all three.

“Thoroughness, commitment and poise is what defines Ms. McGrath in my view.   You never have to worry about her being prepared.  Bank on it.  She is extremely passionate about keeping children safe from predators as she has spent a good chunk of her career developing policies to best achieve this goal.  Finally, she is composed and articulate especially when she is under pressure.  I could not recommend her more enthusiastically.”
