Schools, Streets, and Systems: A conversation with education law leader Namita Brown

Beyond Streets

As the school year winds down, Beyond Streets leans into the everyday intersections between education, transportation, and equity. This week, we sit down with Namita Brown, managing partner at Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost and a powerhouse in California education law.

From collective bargaining to broadband, school transportation to walkability, Namita offers a wide-angle view on the unseen scaffolding that keeps our schools—and students—functioning.

We dig into how COVID reshaped schools as sites of cultural and political conflict, why transportation access is still a quiet crisis, and what parents, educators, and policymakers can do about it.

If you're navigating school lotteries, IEPs, or just figuring out how to get your kid to class on time, give this one a listen.
