Law and Ethics for School Administrators offers a real-world, problem-based approach to legal and ethical issues that emphasizes application, standards and cases throughout. Aligned with ELCC and ISLLC Standards, the book guides administrators as they face issues such as: education, religion and community values; privacy & First Amendment rights of students; students, due process, and safe schools; student search and seizure; equal protection; children and special needs; tort liability; teacher employment, supervision, and collective bargaining; teacher constitutional law; and computers and the Internet. Integrated examples, do’s and don’ts features, and case studies present legal and ethical dilemmas based on typical school issues and encourage the development of successful leadership skills.

 Easy to read for a law book... August 16, 2009
Jeannette L. Johnson (Georgetown, SC USA)
As I started reading this book for my law class, I was pleasantly surprised with its ease of use. Very sensible and easy to understand. This is the one book I am not reselling because I know it will be useful to me in the future.
Surprisingly Helpful March 24, 2010
Leslie Frates (South Jersey, USA)
Used this book in a graduate level school law class. Found it fairly easy reading, well organized and was very helpful when writing papers. I think I will use this book if/when I am hired as a school administrator.
 Difficult to read September 21, 2008

This book is very frustrating and difficult to read. Not the best choice for a school law or school ethics class.
Major Error that will mislead teachers... July 19, 2010
Lady Lawyer (Washington, DC)
There is a major error that needs to be reported. On page 57 in the section on Employee Rights, the author reports that the district court in the Wigg v. Sioux Falls School District case "held the policy valid prohibiting Wigg (and others) from participation in religious activities at the campus of employment". The holding wasn't accurate, and also the negative ruling of that district court was reversed on appeal in Wigg v. Sioux Fall School District, 382 F.3d 807 (8th Cir. 2004). The Eighth Circuit stated: "Wigg seeks nothing more than to be treated like other
private citizens who are allowed access to Club meetings. SFSD's policy permitting participation by all interested parties-so long as they are not district employees-in after-school, religious-based, non-school related activities violates that mandate of neutrality. As such, we affirm the district court's order allowing Wigg to participate in the Club at other SFSD school locations, but we reverse the court's decision prohibiting Wigg from participating at Anderson Elementary."
