Comments from reviewers of this text:

“I appreciate the emphasis on applying appropriate leadership, legal and ethical standards in the educational context…This book combines the seemingly separate considerations of law, leadership, and ethics into a comprehensive discussion, supported by realistic scenarios with which the reader can easily identify.”

“…the general focus of the project is…melding school law and ethics.  Administrators struggle with this all the time.  You have laid a solid research base and have applied practicality…I believe you have taken many of the current themes and problems that are occurring in schools and have made them relevant and practical for the novice and experienced administrator.”

Customer Reviews

Difficult to read
This book is very frustrating and difficult to read. Not the best choice for a school law or school ethics class.

Easy to read for a law book...
As I started reading this book for my law class, I was pleasantly surprised with its ease of use. Very sensible and easy to understand. This is the one book I am not reselling because I know it will be useful to me in the future.
