Noted Civil Rights Attorney Retains George Scott

Noted Texas civil rights attorney Larry Watts has retained George Scott to consult with him on cases and due process hearings involving his clients who are classroom teachers or public school administrators. Watts also represents families of students involved in litigation with school districts.

“Many cases in which I represent public school educators include matters of educational accountability or lower level administrative decisions guided by arbitrary, punitive policies that often target teachers or administrators for retaliation,” Watts said. “I have come to respect George’s expertise in such matters over the 30 years I have known him.”

Scott has already worked with Watts on several cases in the ‘Golden Triangle’ that includes the Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange areas of Texas.

Among Scott’s strengths are “his vast knowledge of the public education system and the additional experts he can bring to any effort,” Watts said. “He has demonstrated an ability to quickly establish knowledgeable rapport with my clients that helps us understand what’s happened and why.”

Watts says that Scott’s role in particular cases will be to help him prepare “discovery requests” of data from public school districts. “He will also play a role in helping prepare me for the questioning of school district officials when I have them under oath in a deposition or hearing.”

“I am very excited to have this opportunity to work with Larry on some of his cases involving public education officials,” Scott said.  “The current level of administrative abuse of some public school employees including classroom teachers and lower level administrators is often staggering.”

“I look forward to the opportunity to explain some of these matters in detail as my work with Mr. Watts moves forward,” Scott said.  “I am honored to have the opportunity to use the knowledge I have gained about public education in different way than I have had the chance in my previous career.”
