Summary: A must read for every person considering the field of teaching
Comment: After using this book for a masters class, I realized that I had inadvertently broken several laws and the district I work for did, too. I don't know why this is not something required for students in a teachers' program. Every teacher should know the law before entering the classroom. It would save a lot of trouble for the district and the teacher. If you haven't read a book on school law, I recommend this one. It's not as dry as it sounds and the author tries to write in a conversational manner that makes for a relatively easy read.

Summary: I love this book!
Comment: This book is a "must-have" for administrators! It is easy to read and includes all the information you need to know to be well-informed about current legal issues. I also ordered the Pocket Guide to take to school so I have one available for quick reference.

Summary: School Law Average
Comment: 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.
