Publisher's Synopsis
School Law: Cases and Concepts is written for educators and lay persons with little background in school law. It focuses on an understanding of legal rationale and principles. Written in a clear and interesting manner, this new edition 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.
