This text captures the key points of the precedents governing student rights and responsibilities relating to attendance, speech, expression, religion, discipline, grades, tests, drugs, search and seizure and the range of procedural due process interests. The book further addresses the range of constitutional rights and protections for teachers as well as employment terms and conditions, including contracts, tenure and potential liabilities.
I used this text book during my postgraduate program. While I cannot say that is the most exciting read, it was written well and I liked the formatting a lot.
Kern Alexander and M. David Alexander compile U.S. education law court cases in a summative narrative bibliography of current issues facing k-12 administrators and educators. The book includes a subject index and an alphabetical list of cited court cases. Most readers interested in a comprehensive overview of legal issues facing public school educators should be satisfied with this great work.
