EDL 721 - School Law for Teachers as Leaders


Credits: 3
The aim of our educational institutions is to provide the highest quality education in a safe and secure setting. In order to achieve this ideal environment, education leaders must be able to identify potential legal issues, design sound programs, and to make day-to-day decisions to carry out their educational mission within the confines of the law. Candidates are introduced to major topics in school law including school and state, school and students, teachers and the law, desegregation, IDEA, FERPA, and other issues that affect school operations. Candidates will review landmark and relevant court decisions and gain a broader and deeper understanding of legal processes and human rights.
