Green Jacobson P.C.

Phillip C. Boyd is leaving Green Jacobson to become Care Team Director for the Normandy School District in north St. Louis County.

Phillip’s new role will be a multifaceted one. He will be coordinating social service interventions for students and families in the district. He will also act as a liason with both private and public stakeholders with respect to the district’s community development efforts. And, in his new position, Phillip will also work with both local municipal courts and the county’s Family Court to create alternatives to incarceration for district residents who violate the parental neglect and juvenile law codes.

Phillip has been a long-time volunteer on the school district’s municipal task force as part of his community service and pro bono activity at Green Jacobson.

Interestingly, Phillip actually helped create the position he is now filling.

Four years ago, Phillip, other volunteers, and district administrators conceived of the post as a key part of their efforts to prevent students from “falling through the cracks” due to uncoordinated agency interventions.

Phillip states that he is eagerly looking forward to being part of an effort to change the dynamics of an urban school district that has the potential to be world class. Phillip credits the leadership of superintendent Dr. Stanton Lawrence as a major reason he sought out the position with the district. Phillip states that Dr. Lawrence has a comprehensive vision for the district’s turnaround and has recruited a stellar administrative and teaching staff that he is proud to join.

Green Jacobson will miss Phillip and wish him success in his new position. We are confident that the students of the Normandy School District will benefit from his attention.
