Description

The intent of this course is to familiarize leaders with the basic legal principles governing the structure and operation of school settings and the legal problems encountered in the day-to-day operation of schools. Understanding the legal base for education and the rights and responsibilities of school leaders will be explored through class discussion. The broad principles of school governance as determined by statute and case law, with an understanding of due process, are emphasized. Special attention is given to Pennsylvania statutes, cases and decisions.
