MaryGrace Bell Kittrell and Dr. Tris Gilland of Marietta City Schools explained how strong, proactive collaboration between school districts and their legal counsel can lead to better decision‑making and more effective governance. During their session, attendees gained insight into building productive partnerships that support district goals while navigating legal and operational challenges.
