 School Law Average July 18, 2008
School Law & the Public Schools is at best an introduction to school laws. It is fine for undergrads, but for Master's programs it is lacking any real detail or substance. If you like the basics this one fills the bill. If you need in-depth knowledge go elsewhere.
 School and the law May 4, 2008
This is a great book for information about school and the laws that govern them. I recommend this book.
Excellent resource, a must have for teachers and administrators.... April 20, 2008
I highly recommend this book for its excellent coverage of law in a clear and concise manner. A superior reference for students in educational administration, practicing school leaders, or for teachers that need clarity on issues that deal with broad legislation. I have no criticism whatsoever. However, if you need specific state laws this may not be the best resource for you. This book belongs in every public school library in the country, in every classroom, and in every administrative office in our educational system. Thanks for such a great book!
 A practical guide for educators April 5, 2008
This text is great, as it thoroughly explains the important educational laws and statues that teachers and administrators need to succeed in an ever-changing and evolving school setting. It is up-to-date and provides example cases and scenarios which are helpful in putting the material into the context of an individual's school environment. However, some information is slightly redundant and re-stated throughout the course of the book.
Outstanding Book! January 18, 2008
This book is a must have if you are going to pursue a school administrative degree. It is very detail and informative. The content of this book is written well and allows the reader to gain the knowledgeable information that is needed in order to address the issues and adhere to the policies and laws that govern our society as it relates to school, equality, and fairness.
