This text examines school law cases having direct impact at the school-building level. In many cases, a historical perspective is provided in addition to case and statutory law. After material on the extent of the school system's authority, the bulk of the book looks at issues pertaining to students such as freedom of expression, expulsion, and pregnancy, as well as teacher's issues such as drug testing, employment discrimination, and political activities of teachers. Later chapters address school desegregation, the legal status of those with disabilities, legal attacks on the financing and adequacy of state school finance plans, and the extent of educator and district liability for damages. Author information is not given. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
