by David Stader

Law and Ethics for School Administrators offers a real-world, problem-based approach to legal and ethical issues that emphasizes application, standards and cases throughout. Aligned with ELCC and ISLLC Standards, the book guides administrators as they face issues such as: education, religion and community values; privacy & First Amendment rights of students; students, due process, and safe schools; student search and seizure; equal protection; children and special needs; tort liability; teacher employment, supervision, and collective bargaining; teacher constitutional law; and computers and the Internet. Integrated examples, do’s and don’ts features, and case studies present legal and ethical dilemmas based on typical school issues and encourage the development of successful leadership skills.

As someone who was always intimidated by understanding law, this book benefitted me by really breaking down terms and how they apply. Overall, a good reference for my law course.

I really liked the case study scenarios laid our in this book, but it never really got to the point of what the person in the case study should have done (at least explicitly). I hate when books make me think, and actually apply something on my own :)
