    NEW 4th EDITION!

    Principals are faced with myriad legal issues everyday making it imperative for them to keep abreast of the latest developments in school law. The Principal’s Legal Handbook is an ideal desk reference for all principals. Published by the Education Law Association, the newly updated third edition addresses many of the most current legal issues, and provides recommendations for practice.

    This publication is divided into four sections:

    Students and the Law yields interesting and useful information on a number of issues related to students and the law. In addition to covering all of the recent issues in schools relative to students’ rights and the use of technology, the text also explores the latest case law and commentary on students’ First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

    Special Education and the Law provides an overview of federal disability law as it applies to public schools today: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Act. Chapters provide information regarding facilities, individualized education programs, least-restrictive environment, related services, transition planning, parental rights, and discipline.

    Teachers and the Law discusses academic freedom, teacher supervision and student injuries, sexual harassment in the workplace, censorship, teacher performance evaluations, documentation for teacher improvement, dismissal procedures, and teacher certification.

    Schools and the Law addresses religion in schools, curricular issues, alternative dispute resolution, desegregation, and affirmative action among other topics. Within these areas, the publication examines issues and discusses recommendations for practice.

    Complete with 35 chapters including new chapters covering No Child Left Behind and its financial implications, the third edition is a must-have for all school principals!
