In this Seventh Edition, the authors have brought the material up-to-date with the current state of law as it affects public education. As in the five previous editions, the strategy remains one of identifying issues that affect the daily operation of schools. These issues affect boards of education, administrators, teachers, and students. This concise, yet comprehensive, book organizes treatment of these issues in four parts: Part I: Law: Sources and Resources Part II: Law and Local Boards of Education Part III: Law and Professional Staff Part IV: Law and Students
