Education Law
Legal Issues in Education: Rights and Responsibilities in U.S. Public Schools Today (Higher Education Coursebook)
Product details
Description
This book blends valuable excerpts from original court opinions with policy and legal analysis to help build a deep understanding of the law and its meaning for education students. The book was reviewed and endorsed by several prominent educational scholars. The core of the book is focused on what education students most care about and need to know about the law, with supporting material and additional content created specifically for those students.
Legal Issues in Education is a clearly written, uniquely organized, and practical text on education law for aspiring school leaders, researchers, and others invested in the future of public education in the United States. The book provides thoughtful syntheses of up-to-date case law framed around key issues facing today's educators, leaders and policymakers from practical guidance pertaining to school safety to broader policy concerns regarding access and equal educational opportunity. - Bruce D. Baker, Ed.D. Professor of Educational Theory, Policy and Administration Graduate School of Education Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Welner, Kim, and Biegel distill in these pages an encyclopedic and comprehensive knowledge of equity issues in education, making their book a must-read for anyone interested in education opportunity or in safeguarding civil rights and civil liberties in public schools today. - Catherine E. Lhamon, former Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education and current chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights
Welner, Kim, and Biegel expertly weave together their collective knowledge of education policy and law, with a powerful focus on equity. This new book provides an essential foundation for the next generation of education researchers and policymakers. We all need to understand how the law influences critical forces that impact educational opportunity, including school accountability and funding, desegregation, ability tracking, student retention, and the education of emerging bilinguals and students with disabilities. - Jeannie Oakes, Ph.D. Senior Fellow, Learning Policy Institute Presidential Professor Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles Past President, American Educational Research Association

Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
