TESTIMONIALS
As a District leader for the past 10 years, I have been more than well served and supported by Attorney Meinelt; she is a true advisor and coach for our entire district. She was previously a classroom teacher so she brings a deeper understanding, commitment, and partnership to the relationships she forms with administrators, teachers, and most importantly, the students and families we serve.
