Book Description
Working in a school is both rewarding and tough. School secretaries, nurses, aides, receptionists, custodians, bus drivers, and a host of others assure that our schools are run efficiently and that children are the top priority.
These talented individuals answer questions from parents, manage student medication, fix whatever needs to be fixed, assure that student records are accurately maintained, assist teachers with a variety of needs, coordinate school safety drills, enroll and withdraw students, assist with special education issues, handle school finances, transport students to and from school and school activities and do whatever else is needed.
This book is an effort to make the life of these busy individuals a little more manageable. In doing so, the authors have consulted with a number of school support professionals about the areas of law and policy that they deal with on a routine basis. From there, they organized this book into ten chapters. Each chapter contains detailed narratives on relevant issues, frequently asked questions and commonly used forms and resources. As such, Illinois Law in the School Office is intended to be a one-stop, essential desk reference for busy school support professionals.
The authors have ample experience working with school support staff and school leaders. Brian D. Schwartz has practiced school law for 15 years and is associate director of and general counsel to the Illinois Principals Association. Scott L. Day is a former middle school and junior high administrator and is chair of the department of educational leadership at the University of Illinois Springfield.
