For over twenty years, The Educator's Guide to Texas School Law has been the preeminent source for information on Texas school law for the state's education community. The sixth edition is the latest in a series of revisions designed to keep the book current, comprehensive, and readable. Readers will find a number of changes in the new edition. First and foremost, the immensely important No Child Left Behind Act has been incorporated at various points in the text, particularly in discussions pertaining to accountability, assessment, and school safety. Other changes include an expanded discussion of charter schools, school uniform policies, and student drug testing programs. Employment issues are now addressed in two chapters, one dealing with contractual matters and the other with personnel management. The new edition includes all legislative developments, relevant federal and state court rulings, and Texas Commissioner of Education decisions to date.

In its ten chapters, The Educator's Guide discusses a myriad of topics relating to the legal structure of the Texas school system, attendance law and the instructional program, the education of children with disabilities, employment law, rights of expression and association, the role of religion, student discipline, open meetings and public records, privacy issues, student search and seizure, and legal liability of school districts and employees.

TEXAS SCHOOL LAW: EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THIS BOOK	Customer Rating:
THIS BOOK IS USED FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE EDUCATION GRADUATE PROGRAM, BUT I BELIEVE EVERYONE, INCLUDING BEGINNING TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK. IT IS A BOOK THAT WILL SAVE ANYONE WHO IS IN THE EDUCATION FIELD A LOT OF MONEY AND HIS/HER PICTURE OFF THE FRONT PAGE OF THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

Law Book	Customer Rating:
This is an easy to follow book that covers any questions an educator may have over just about any law. I loved that it had a regular index as well as an index of court cases.

Great TX School Law overview	Customer Rating:
This book was an asset. I used it instead of my assigned text when working to pass the TExES Principal exam. This book was much better and more reader friendly than anything else I had used. The special ed section is a Must Read as is the part on employee rights! I highly recomment this book!

Necessary for Texas Educators

Customer Rating:

The title doesn't sound overly interesting but it actually is an interesting book. Teaching is an important job but there are a lot of things that a teacher could do to get in trouble (such as breaking privacy laws). The book also covers the law regarding starting a job contract, which I found to be particularly enlightening. It also covers some of the changes to Texas law since No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and laws regarding English language learners and illegal immigrants (they have the right to public education like anyone else). These are all important issues for the Texas teacher.
