Writing for educators and policy makers at all levels, Essex (educational law and leadership, University of Memphis) provides background on historical and contemporary legal issues affecting the organization and administration of schools in the US. In this third edition, new chapters overview issues impacting school safety, curriculum requirements, and testing, and challenge the courts' role in creating desegregated schools. There is also new material on landmark Supreme Court decisions on Affirmative Action in the college admissions process and on private homosexual acts between consenting adults. Chapter cases and exercises are new as well. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
