Assessment 7

 The laws that influence educational practice originate from various sources, including the U.S. Constitution, federal and state statutory law, and their associated cases. Sources like the U.S. Constitution, statutes, and regulations are directly stated in the law. However, cases require detailed analysis to extract the legal implications. 

Review the legal cases discussed in Ch. 13 of The Principal’s Quick-Reference Guide to School Law: Reducing Liability, Litigation, and Other Potential Legal Tangles.

Select one case from your home state (or any state of your choosing) that you believe has influenced the state governance of education the most. This can be a state or federal case. 

You may not use Waire v. Joseph (1989), Jackson v. Birmingham (2005), Janus v. American Federation (2018), DuPree v. Alma School District No. 30, 279 Ark. 340 (1983), or Lake View Sch. Dist. No. 25 v. Huckabee, 351 Ark. 31, 91 S.W.3d 472 (Ark. 2002) as these are part of the weekly class case law studies.
