Product Overview
Updated and revised to reflect new policy and legal decisions, the Fifth Edition of Public School Law: Teachers' and Students' Rights provides an all-inclusive treatment of the current status and evolution of the law governing public schools, making it the most comprehensive and well-documented text of its kind. The authors present material in a non-technical manner, avoiding the extensive use of legal terms while still providing thorough documentation for further exploration of issues. Information in this text will help alleviate concerns voiced by educators who either don't know the legal concepts that govern schools or feel that the scales of justice have been tipped against them. Comprehensive coverage of students' and teachers' rights are presented throughout and changes in the law and emerging areas of controversy are highlighted. A New chapter on special education law (Rights of Students with Disabilities), with charts illustrating IDEA Due Process and applicable laws has been added to this edition.
