Reutter's the Law of Public Education » (7th Edition)

This reference covers the principles and patterns of U.S. law as it is applied to various aspects of public education. Selected legal cases have been edited to remove material extraneous to education law. Each of 14 chapters focuses on a particular area, such as election of school board members, use of school funds, certification of teachers, and desegregation of schools. The fifth edition adds a new chapter on the rights of students with disabilities. A glossary of terms is found at the back of the volume. Russo teaches education and law at the U. of Dayton.
