Education Law Third Edition

Writing for educational administrators and policy makers who may not have any background in jurisprudence, Imber (educational policy and administration, U. of Kansas) and van Geel (education, U. of Rochester) begin this volume with a review of the basic forms of law and the elements of judicial decisions. In the following chapters they integrate discussion of the principles of education law with representative cases. The topics covered are those elementary and secondary school educators are likely to face, such as student discipline, equal opportunity and teachers' rights and contracts. This edition incorporates new material on the No Child Left Behind Act, government assistance to private schools, use of the Internet and other subjects of recent debate and legislation.
