ED 686G - Contemporary Legal Issues in Education

This course will provide education professionals a summary of basic legal concepts which impact the educational environment. The intent of the summary is to provide education professionals (who have previously taken a “School Law” course) a reminder of legal concepts in the classroom and in the overall educational environment. Beyond the introductory concepts, however, the course will explore the most recent legal issues with which education professionals must deal in public schools.

Prerequisite: ED 676G - Legal Aspects of Education, an equivalent course from another institution, or consent of instructor.
