Although technically considered public schools, Charter Schools are most often run by private corporations with private interests. Because of their “public school” status, Charter Schools attempt to enjoy the profitable benefits of private schools as well as the liability protections of public schools. Herman Law has successfully fought against these attempts.
Herman Law was successful in convincing the court that Charter Schools should not be protected by the sovereign immunity of public schools, and as a result, Herman Law won a $5,250,000.00 verdict against a national charter school corporation.
