Susan's practice is focused on representing boards of education on a wide array of issues, which include labor and employment, board governance and policy and general counsel services. Susan counsels her boards of education and their administrators on the myriad of issues regularly faced by school officials, including personnel issues surrounding discharge and discipline of teaching and non-teaching employees, teacher evaluations, layoffs and reductions in force, and Title IX issues; collective bargaining negotiations, grievances and arbitrations; pupil issues; levy matters; public records and open meeting act concerns; board policy concerns; and defending school boards against claims before the EEOC, OCRC, OCR and in state and federal courts. In addition to her education law practice, Susan advises municipalities and county boards of developmental disabilities on labor and employment, planning and zoning and board governance matters, among others. Susan also serves as the law director for the City of Vermilion, the solicitor for the Village of Put-in-Bay and labor counsel for the City of Elyria.
