Product Description
"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. (20041202)

 Quick - Reference - Guide to school Law January 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 Very good May 12, 2007
I used this book for a class. It is easy to read and a good reference.
ESSENTIAL IN THE HOSTILE NCLB ERA September 21, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
as we see schools labor under a system designed for failure, the same business model which has bankrupt the once mighty GM corporation by seeking endlessly expanding horizons of AYP, in which teachers suffer similar mal-practice suits as doctors and suffer other liabilities and empty self-interested accusations of misconduct, in which schools face a myriad labrynth of hostile and near vindictive legislation, this tome serves as essential ally for every educator and must be read and fully memorized.
Buy this book and save our schools, and your job!
BEcause of the potent political anti-public education powers currently legislated and at work the authors walk a delicate thin line between being comprehensive and cautious, and often hedge their objective reporting with curious contortions in order to keep access and not step on powerful toes. Kind of like public schools nowadays in this hotly political climate.
