This handbook is not necessarily meant to be a lawbook, but rather a manual to be used in the field prior to the need for a lawyer. It is specifically designed to assist the school administrator and the board of education in dealing with students, teachers, staff personnel, and patrons. It essentially updates many of the topics covered in the original handbook, specifically dealings with teachers, student due process and discipline, impediments, tort liability, and school board general recommendations. The handbook also covers collective bargaining, student records, sex discrimination and Title IX, and student publications. (Author/IRT)
