COURSE DESCRIPTION: In this era of increasing legal challenges, both administrators and teachers need to know guidelines in situations involving legal issues. Scenarios involving crisis management, health-related issues, religion in schools, student organizations, student records and internet use these are just some of the important focuses updated in this highly readable book. The authors organized the book into five areas: school environment, Constitutional concerns, students, personnel, and accountability. In each subtopic chapter discussing specific topic norms and legal precedents, there are postscripts with updates that might be applicable to issues in your school and district. With the knowledge gained from the text, educators will be prepared to provide responses appropriate to specific incidents as well as to ask and answer the crucial questions: what are the legal boundaries, what are the relevant district policies, and what are the best strategies for resolution? This book may help bring peace of mind to teachers and administrators vulnerable to increasingly difficult legal questions. The authors include Kate Kaminski, an attorney specializing in school law; and William Bosher Jr. and Richard Vacca, co-authors of Law and Education: Contemporary Issues and Court Decisions. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon completion of this course, participants will: 1. Have learned how to handle crises involving Constitutional concerns such as religion in the schools and internet use 2. Have learned important legal advice re: student records and student organizations 3. Have learned legal guidelines that relate to personnel evaluations 4. Have learned how to handle other legal issues typically impacting schools and school districts COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Participants will complete assignments and post responses online to specific questions outlined for each assignment.
