Review
"Most school law texts do not include practical guidelines to help administrators. This book does so quite well. I’ll use it in a heartbeat."
(Scott McLeod, J.D. )"Given the many responsibilities of school administrators and the growing complexity of school law, this desk reference is an invaluable reference for principals. I will be the first in line to buy this book."
(Deborah Alexander )"This book make significant contributions with its risk management recommendations; and the recommendations are excellent ones based upon sound legal principles."
(Frank Brown, J.D. )"Without question, this book makes a solid contribution to the field of education and the role that administrators must play. Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the book is the focus on prevention."
(Jon Rosell )"The book is well written, easy to understand, and useful to the school administration, teachers, parents, and students alike. The structure of the text is consistent throughout, which makes understanding school law palatable."

This review is from: The Principal's Quick-Reference Guide to School Law: Reducing Liability, Litigation, and Other Potential Legal Tangles (Paperback)
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.
