Book Description Recent news headlines involving our schools have focused on a variety of controversial issues. Religion in public schools, the drug testing of students, strip searching of students for drugs and weapons, dress codes and uniform regulations, and school "vouchers" are a mere few of the educational issues with which we are faced today. This book uses a case-study method to examine the judicial precedents set and the law as it stands in regard to school law today. This revised and updated book focuses on an understanding of legal rationale and principles. Written in a clear, understandable, and interesting manner, the book examines the sources of law under which educators operate, the legal constraints to state action in the educational arena, the legal rights and restrictions applicable to students and teachers, the historical and legal foundations of both desegregation and recent school finance reform, the law pertaining to disabilities, and educator and school district liability Lawyers and legal professionals, educators and educational administrators, educational reformers, school board members, parents, public school students, and students of law and education. | ||

Dull and Boring There must be an easier way to get the material. I'm looking for something else. | ||
I think there are better books to use This book is not for the person just getting an intiation into school law. It is too condense and only gives blurbs of the verdicts in each case by quoting the appellate and US supreme court judges which are oft times convoluted, the author leaves out an indepth explanation of the nuts and bolts. I refer to this book as the Reader's Digest version of school law. Also, the print is microscopic which is really hard on the eyes. | ||
How good can it be? ...The book is well-written and contains important informationrelevant to school personnel, but it does not come in a titanium coverwith gold leaf pages. Can a student get a break? END | ||
Well written about case subject Law book need to be understood by the lay person that is not a lawyer, but those that are in some type of law need to be able to understand the law, an be able understand the common law. | ||
