Description
This book is designed to inform school administrators regarding school law. As a resource, it provides suggested, easy-to-understand guidelines for the avoidance of litigation. Subjects include preventive law and risk management; constitutional and statutory foundations of staff selection, contracting, and evaluation; negligent hiring, defamation, and referencing; performance evaluation; teachers' constitutional rights and terms and conditions of employment; students' rights; student discipline; the principal's responsibilities in providing special education services; academic issues and student records; copyright law; search and seizure; the principal's responsibilities in program management; sexual harassment; and the principal's tort liability for negligence as applied to expected duty and standards of care. Each chapter and section is presented in a template format for ease in locating answers to questions that arise in a particular situation. The book contains a quick-reference guide by subject, lists state Web sites for accessing state-specific education laws in the introductory chapter, and concludes with two resources (appendices) containing selected provisions from the U.S. Constitution that are of particular interest to educators. Also included is a listing, by subject-category, of leading education cases that have been decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. (RT)
