Profile

Kate concentrates her practice in school law. Kate began her career at Bond in 2011, where she practiced in the areas of litigation and school representation.

In 2017, she served as General Counsel to Ithaca City School District. As a member of the Superintendent's Executive Cabinet, she counseled the District in all areas of its day-to-day operations and represented the District in litigated matters.

Now in her role as outside counsel, Kate continues to provide timely, day-to-day counseling to Bond’s public and private school clients and acts as an advocate for schools in adversarial proceedings before administrative agencies, and state and federal courts. Kate has experience in the various areas of law that impact school operations and that create legal exposure for schools, including: school board governance; school elections; school finance; Taylor Law and collective bargaining; employee discipline; health care; school health services; special education; Open Meetings Law; Freedom of Information Law; student privacy; student residency and homelessness; school contracts; use of school facilities and real property; and Constitutional issues. Kate is committed to utilizing the law creatively, to advance and enhance education. Her approach to school representation is passionate and child-centered.
