School business officials (SBOs) must, in many respects, serve as all
things to all people in their workplaces. This includes having a wealth
of knowledge on legal issues ranging from contracts to setting policy to
constitutional matters involving the rights of students and teachers.
The chapters in this book have been written by a diverse group of
individuals with experience as educational leaders in schools and/or who
possess significant expertise in 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,
and the second deals with the rights of students and teachers. 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. Charles Russo
