Editorial Review:
The principal is faced with myriad legal issues on a daily basis, making it imperative that he/she keeps abreast with developing legal issues. The Principal's Legal Handbook addresses this need with a discussion of many of the most current legal issues. The first of four sections, Students and the Law, addresses current issues relating to search and seizure, freedom of expression, student discipline and due process, child abuse, student-to-student sexual harassment, and student records. Section 2, Special Education and the Law, reviews legal issues involving students with disabilities, including eligibility and an appropriate education, discrimination under section 504, disciplining students with disabilities, barrier-free schools, parents' rights and the IEP meeting, transition, and infectious diseases. Section 3, 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, teacher dismissal procedures, and teacher certification. Section 4, Schools and the Law, examines devotional activities in the school, religion in the curriculum, other school curriculum issues, copyright issues, dispute resolution, charter schools, affirmative action, school desegregation, and school finance. The book is developed in a very readable format, discussing the legal issues and providing recommendations for practice.
