Roger J. Aronson, MESPA Legal and Legislative Counsel
Legal protection for elementary and middle level principals: MESPA membership ensures the legal coverage principals need.
Legal issues and questions are an everyday
occurrence for principals. Elementary and middle level principals need
legal advice, support, and protection. Legal assistance is one of
the most valued MESPA membership benefits.
"My job is to keep you healthy. It's different than your job. My job
isn't kids, parents, and teachers. My job is to take care of you -- and I
am proud to represent the quality and caliber of the work you do." -- Roger Aronson, MESPA Leadership Conference
