Know Your School Law Bulletin 1958

This publication is designed to encourage and assist those who seek to improve school systems through the improvement of school laws. This is a revised edition of "Know Your School Law," Bulletin 1952 No. 1, by Dr. Ward W. Keesecker, and is part of the Office of Education program to develop a clearinghouse of timely and useful information on important phases of school law. The purpose of this publication is to stimulate interest in the further improvement of educational laws, to identify legislative need in the field of education, and to suggest guiding principles, procedures, and source material helpful to this end. This bulletin is organized into two parts. Part I, Importance of Educational Law, provides a brief discussion of the significant relationship of educational laws to the quality and efficiency of education. Some suggestive principles and procedures for those who seek to improve the laws governing the administration and support of various phases of public education are also included. Part II, Educational Law, Selected References, presents a selected and annotated bibliography of literature in the field of school law designed to provide source material related to the legal aspects of the principal phases of education.
