Laws governing schools, students, and teachers are developed to protect the individuals involved in education. Written by experts in the field, this text deals with many student issues, such as attendance, due process rights, freedom of speech, search and seizure, discrimination, discipline, and testing. Also addresses religion and employment terms and conditions for teachers, along with their constitutional rights.
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.
