I have a very odd feeling about this!!!!  Face to face usually means he's going to try and get  you sign something. If so DON'T do it.  Have your lawyer on standby!  If you walk in and there is more then just the superintendent sitting there excuse youself and get on the phone with your lawyer.

When I go there on Friday, if there is anybody but the Superintendant in the room, I'll immediately ask who they are and why they are there.
I will be polite and firm as usual but I will not sign anything. At this point, I won't even mention that I have counsel. If they present us an "offer" I will politely let them know that I analyze everything and sign nothing on the spur of the moment. I'll let them know that I need the weekend to read documents over and then I'll get back to them. My counsel will then check everything out for us.

School systems in the state of Pennsylvania have sovereign immunity....which basically means that they cannot be sued. However, since my daughter was hurt on a faulty piece of equipment that was on their property and under their care, that changes everything. My lawyer has assured me that our case would be VERY strong if litigation is pursued. I have no doubt that is true since he won't get paid if we don't win.

I'm anxious for this meeting.

Good luck with your meeting.  Did you think about maybe-recording the meeting?  Your lawyer might have a better insight if he was not there.  I think I would suggest his presence.

Good luck with everything Mike and hopefully your daughter's health continues to return to normal (well, as normal as possible given that you're her dad)!

Always remember that old joke about 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean being a good start.
