Blurb

An invaluable, comprehensive resource for the vibrant and ever-evolving landscape of education law.

California School Law provides an accessible, comprehensive source for the latest law and policy in this rapidly changing and critical field. Earlier editions of the book, authored by Frank Kemerer and Peter Sansom, have become coveted desktop references for administrators, governing board members, education attorneys, union leaders, and policymakers. In this updated and expanded fourth edition, Dean T. Adams and Margaret A. Dalton bring this analysis up to the present, including examining California's often unique state law as well as applicable federal law, and exploring how they combine to affect the day-to-day operation of the state's traditional public, charter, and private schools.

Beginning with an explanation of the legal framework for California schooling, the book moves quickly to examine important areas of law including curriculum, teacher and student rights of expression, religion in the public school setting, racial and gender discrimination, students with disabilities, student discipline, privacy, search and seizure, and legal liability in both state and federal court. Also included are chapters on unions and collective bargaining, employment, and educational finance issues.

Law never stands still and is proceeding at a record pace in education. This book is an invaluable tool for readers who wish to obtain a working knowledge of this extensive area of education law.
