Book Reviews of The Principal's Quick-Reference Guide to School Law: Reducing Liability, Litigation, and Other Potential Legal Tangles

Book Review: Quick - Reference - Guide to school Law
Summary: 4 Stars

I serve as an instructor for graduate students enrolled in school law, many who are budding future school administrators. For those who intend to one day become a school administrator, The Principal's Quick Reference Guide to School Law is a "must have" for their professional library. Even if the students never become an administrator, it is most important that all educators have a good understanding of the laws that can affect their profession.

I recommend this Quick-Reference Guide to all current (and future) educators.

Summary of The Principal's Quick-Reference Guide to School Law: Reducing Liability, Litigation, and Other Potential Legal Tangles

"The authors have taken a topic which could cover volumes, and produced a concise, easily understood desk reference that I have already used on the job."
-Stephen Handley, Principal
Terry High School, MS

"Written in easy-to-read, straightforward language, The Principal's Quick-Reference Guide to School Law neatly addresses longstanding and emerging issues that impact daily school operations."
-
From the Foreword by Charles J. Russo

Minimize site-based risk while respecting the legal rights of students, staff, and parents!

Principals deal with complicated and potentially damaging legal issues every day . . . and now there's an accurate, accessible tool, written in plain English that can give administrators the information they need to do their jobs while minimizing legal risk. While retaining the reader-friendly format from their first edition, Dennis R. Dunklee and Robert J. Shoop-recognized school law experts-provide additional programmatic guidance for other school district personnel, "management cues" and "risk management guidelines," a comprehensive index, additional references to landmark court cases, coverage of the No Child Left Behind Act, and information on state-created danger and deliberate indifference.

This second edition helps school administrators quickly find important legal guidance for issues that include:

  • Staff selection and evaluation
  • Student rights and discipline
  • Special education and the reauthorized IDEA
  • Copyright law
  • Search and seizure
  • Sexual harassment and sexual exploitation
  • ...and many more!

This essential desk reference offers a straightforward resource on translating school law into practice and can be used as a day-to-day reference guide or a comprehensive overview of school law today.
