School business officials (SBOs) must, in many respects, serve as
all things to all people in their workplaces. Put another way, SBOs
must be knowledgeable about a wide range of legal issues ranging
from contracts to setting policy to state biding laws let alone
constitutional matters involving the rights of students and
teachers. Aware of the fact that issues involving the law are at
the heart of many of a SBO's duties, the chapters in this edited
book have been written by a diverse array of individuals with
experience as educational leaders in schools and/ or who possess
significant expertise in the School Law. In light of the need to
keep SBOs up-to-date on many issues in the ever changing world of
Education Law, this volume is divided into two parts. The first
section deals with issues that primarily impact on the management
of schools while the second deals with the rights of students and
teachers. More specifically, each of the chapters is designed to
examine a specific area about which SBOs need information. While no
single book can ever hope to cover all of the myriad of legal
topics that SBOs and other educational leaders must master in their
professional lives, this book will serve as an up-to-date and ready
source of information to help keep them abreast of the many changes
in the ever evolving area of School Law.
As well-established as the right to work is in the industrialized
world, in many places it is neither as well-defined nor protected
even though signatories to various international treaties profess
their adherence to the lofty principles contained in the array of
documents addressing what is recognized as a fundamental human
right. The right to work is an important human right-without the
ability to support themselves, workers have a difficult time
affording themselves, and their families, the opportunity to enjoy
their other rights. International documents acknowledge the
fundamental right of individuals to work, but do not explicitly
address the status of teachers. Employment Rights of Teachers
covers twelve different nations in an analysis of rights allowed
and denied to teachers throughout the world.
Education law has emerged as an important concern to educators in
many countries around the world. While there are similarities in
the range of rights that students in various countries have, there
are also many differences. The Educational Rights of Students:
International Perspectives on Demystifying the Legal Issues
provides a comprehensive examination on the status of the legal
rights of students in 13 international communities. Written by
leading experts in the field of education law in their respective
nations, The Educational Rights of Students will serve as both a
great reference and textbook.

The Eleventh Edition of The Law of Public Education, a
textbook-casebook, incorporates recent developments in K-12
Education Law into its conceptual framework by offering updated
analysis of major topics in the field. Among its more than 5,000
footnotes, the Eleventh Edition includes citations to more than 600
new cases since 2018 plus substantive discussions of many of these
disputes. The volume also adds five new opinions, four of which are
from the Supreme Court, among its 123 case excerpts as selected
older cases are culled, such as two in Chapter 14 on student
speech, replacing them with more up-to-date opinions on cutting
edge issues. New case excerpts examine timely developments on the
parameters of state aid to faith-based educational institutions and
prayer by public employees at work Chapter 2; the limits on the
liability of school officials for a student's off-campus death in
Chapter 7; fair share fees for unions in Chapter 9; and student
off-campus speech on social media in Chapter 14. The cases included
at the end of the chapters are designed to enhance the book's
usefulness both as a teaching tool and as a reference volume to
provide a starting point for further research. Selected older cases
remain for their longstanding precedential value because they
provide a sense of the historical development in the law. Citations
continue to include references to West's Education Law Reporter,
when available, thereby making it easier for instructors, students,
practitioners, and other readers to locate cases and materials.

This book provides a user-friendly guide to constitutional law in
the context of public colleges and universities that is easily
accessible to students, faculty members, and administrators. While
this book will be helpful to lawyers, our primary audience is the
educated layperson. Each of the book's chapters discusses the basic
constitutional principles and how they apply in the context of
public higher education.

Manycolleges and universities are struggling to strike a balance
between protecting free speech as a way of supporting their goal of
academic freedom and promoting civility as a way of creating an
environment where students can learn and faculty members can teach
and conduct research. There have been numerous recent incidents of
audiences shouting down speakers, burning books, and demanding that
specific students be expelled or faculty members be terminated. In
this highly fractious environment, schools are wondering "What
works?" when seeking to attain the twin goals of permitting
unrestricted speech but insisting on rules of decorum for debate
and the exchange of perspectives. This book explores what schools
have actually attempted, in some cases successfully and in some
cases not successfully, to address these issues. It concludes that
there are three primary strategies that tend to be effective:
treating challenges to free speech and campus civility as
"teachable moments"; exploring hypothetical scenarios with
students, faculty members, and administrators before there is a
serious incident; and approaching free speech and campus civility
across the curriculum. The book also surveys United States case law
on the topics of free speech, academic freedom, the right to
protest, and similar subjects so as to provide faculty members and
administrators with a concise resource filled with practical and
accurate information.

Each of the four volumes in this set, as well as each volume
independently, provide comparative analyses for researches,
practitioners, and students of the law and education in examining
law and education in various countries around the world. Designed
to allow readers to learn from, rather than copy, the legal and
educational systems in these volumes, the books are designed to
generate thought and conversation on how education can be improved
around the world. By having chapter authors, leading academicians
in the home countries, follow the same template so it can be easier
to compare similarities and differences, thereby helping to make
the book user friendly. The value of these books is that they
should help to enhance international awareness of the similarities
and advantages associated with bringing together knowledge from
various countries concerning education law. Volume 3, encompassing
Selected Nations in Europe, namely Ireland, the Netherlands,
Poland, Russia, and Spain, consists of detailed analysis of
