[From Coady Pruett, to KSB's awesome clients and the education community]
I write with tremendous gratitude to share with you that on September 18, my tenure as a KSB School Law attorney will come to an end. I have accepted another professional opportunity outside of the school law context. I am very enthusiastic about this new opportunity and looking forward to contributing and adding value to another business. I will have more to share about my new role in the future via a separate channel.
If I have been your so-called “go to guy,” never fear! The KSB team has a plan to cover everything. I have already reached out to the clients with whom I am working on active litigation matters. Also, if I am working on a specific matter for you, I will either finish it before I wrap up my time at KSB or we will reach out to you directly to let you know who is taking the baton and running with it. All of us are committed to ensuring as smooth a transition as possible so that you, our clients, remain well served and well advised.
What I want to emphasize here is how grateful I am for my time at KSB School Law and for the opportunity that so many people provided to enable me to serve and represent public school districts. To the school boards and school administrators, thank you for the trust and confidence that you placed in me by allowing me to provide you counsel, advice, and the opportunity to advocate for you. To my KSB colleagues, thank you for your comradery, your support, your humor, your intellect, your willingness to grow together, and for putting me in a position to be successful. KSB School Law has been and remains a mission-driven organization, striving to ultimately help children by empowering school leaders to make the best decisions possible, with limited resources, in imperfect circumstances. I appreciate having had the chance during the last eight years to contribute toward that cause.
So, I will end with where I started—with gratitude and appreciation for my experience with school leaders and my KSB colleagues. Until I see you next, be well! —Coady
