Summary:
|
The District continues to work to keep our legal costs to the lowest possible level while also ensuring we have multiple legal resources for multiple legal areas. This firm, which was a firm used often in the past by the District, allows us to have an additional resource available to HR if needed. We do not currently anticipate needing the firm to a high degree at this time but do recommend approval to have them again be an available legal resource as needed for MDUSD.
