In this Seventh Edition, the authors have brought the material up-to-date with the current state of law as it affects public education. As in the five previous editions, the strategy remains one of identifying issues that affect the daily operation of schools. These issues affect boards of education, administrators, teachers, and students. This concise, yet comprehensive, book organizes treatment of these issues in four parts: 
<li>Part I: Law: Sources and Resources</li>
 <li>Part II: Law and Local Boards of Education</li>
 <li>Part III: Law and Professional Staff</li>
 <li>Part IV: Law and Students

The School Law Handbook: What Every Leader Needs to Know

A parent objects to a curriculum that includes a unit on Greek gods, arguing that it violates the separation of church and state. As a teacher or administrator, how should you respond? This type of issue is one most educators will have to confront eventually, in addition to other hot-button issues such as zero-tolerance policies, drug and alcohol testing, and prayer in schools. The School Law Handbook is designed to enable educators to confront such issues with information, insight, and initiative. The issues are organized into five areas: the school environment, Constitutional issues, students, personnel, and accountability. Within each area are several chapters, each beginning with a realistic scenario followed by legal and practical analyses of the situation. Armed with this knowledge of the parameters governing each scenario, educators can more effectively manage their responses, asking and answering the key questions: - What are the legal boundaries? - What is the district policy related to this issue? - What are the potential strategies for resolution? In this era of unparalleled public scrutiny, The School Law Handbook is essential reading for all school personnel.
