Review (PDF) School Law And The Public Schools: A Practical Guide For Educational Leaders (6th Edition) (The Pearson Educational Leadership Series)
An essential, practical, hands-on resource for school leaders, policymakers, and other educational personnel, this practical, clear, and easy-to-understand guide looks at both the historical background and the contemporary legal issues that affect virtually every aspect of schools today. The new Sixth Edition of School Law and the Public Schools by Nathan Essex brings readers the latest information on today’s most critical issues, among them: recent rulings on religion in public schools, social media, Facebook and Twitter challenges, virtual charter schools, administrators’ authority at bus stops, legal aspects of teachers and administrators’ evaluation, teacher performance and misconduct, 504 Rehabilitation plans, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Act, violence and tragedy in U.S. schools, procedures for evaluating and responding to threats, natural disasters and school safety, proposed changes to No Child Left Behind by the White House, and the use of chaperones for field trips. Numerous application exercises and case studies give the concepts real-life meaning, and illustrative tables and figures further reinforce and amplify the ideas.

I use this book as the main text for my school law class. I have found it to be easy to read and understand. As the main text, my students get the overall picture of issues facing school administrators and teachers. This gives them a better understanding of the pit falls and how important it is to know and understand the law.
An easy read! I enjoyed reading the book. Prior to the book purchase, i knew little about education law. The book was easy to read and is a great resource to have. The only bad thing is that there is no Kindle version for paperlite. Im able to read it ONLY on my computer through the Kindle app. I couldn;t read it wherever I am with my Kindle.
The book does a good job explaining complex concepts. I learned a great deal from reading it.
Informative, essential, and well-written. Layperson friendly.
This book is in great condition. The information in this book is current and relevant to School Law courses.
This book is helpful for understanding what goes on behind the scenes at school.
Great shipping time. The book looks great and met all of my expectations.
