Nearly all school administrators have had a course in school law. However, most school law courses end without helping the principal translate school law and policy into education procedures and practice. This book helps close that gap, and places principals in a better position to maintain a safe school and to be on the offensive in litigation avoidance and conflict resolution. Most legal actions brought against school principals are not based on the areas of education leadership or knowledge of curriculum. Principals who find themselves defendants in court often got there because they didn't know the relevant law or practice sound management based on an understanding of existing court decisions. This book helps principals understand, and gives them a stronger foundation for the management of risk. The Principal's Quick-Reference Guide to School Law is designed so that the school administrator can quickly find and identify important legal points to consider during decision-making processes, when such decisions may have legal consequences.To further assist in that process, the authors use straightforward, non-technical language and follow a standard format in presenting pertinent information.
