Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to analyze legislation and case law regarding sexual relationships between American secondary school students and their teachers. Chapter one provides an introduction to the study, and chapter two reviews relevant literature. In chapter three, codes of criminal and administrative law are reviewed to determine which sexual relationships between educators and students are permissible and prohibited in each state. Federal statutes, including Title IX of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 and section 1983 of Title 42 of the United States Code, are reviewed to determine how federal law applies to sexual relationships between teachers and students. Next, case law is reviewed to determine how state and federal courts have ruled regarding sexual relationships between teachers and students. While the primary focus of the dissertation is sexual relationships between teachers and students, case law related to sexual relationships between students and other school employees is reviewed as well. In chapter four, the dissertation reviews state and federal court cases in which employees terminated for engaging in sexual relationships with students filed suit against their former employers or state boards of education alleging wrongful termination or other adverse employment action. In chapter five, the dissertation reviews state and federal court cases in which students who engaged in sexual relationships with educators filed suit alleging various rights violations by the school district. In chapter six the study analyzes the trends of the judicial rulings. Generally, in wrongful termination claims, courts tended to support schools if they provided due process to terminated employees. In student suits against school districts alleging Title IX or section 1983 violations, courts tended to support schools that did not display deliberate indifference to actual knowledge of sexual harassment or display a custom or policy that promotes harassment. Finally, the study provides a primer for school administrators. The primer discusses warning signs of sexual harassment, offers tips for school administrators to prevent sexual relationships between employees and students, and gives guidance to school administrators to respond properly when such relationships come to light.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook examines the essential nature of the law within an educational context and asks why there is not greater preparation for this aspect of a teacher’s role. Principals and teachers across the world now work in increasingly uncertain and challenging environments involving complex legislative frameworks, with their roles and responsibilities constantly changing to meet these demands: thus, it is imperative that educators adapt and acquire new skills relating to child protection and criminal law. On a daily basis, teachers and practitioners are being challenged to critically examine and evaluate the legal rights and obligations of various stakeholders, including students, parents, educators and administrators. However, if these skills are not developed, the implications will be significant: particularly so if principals are deterred from pursuing innovative education strategies due to potential litigation risks. Consequently, the chapters will empower principals and teachers in the management of these concerns. This wide-ranging handbook, including case studies from around the world, will be of interest and value to both scholars of education law and practitioners.

Download or read book Corporal Punishment in U S Public Schools written by Elizabeth T. Gershoff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief reviews the past, present, and future use of school corporal punishment in the United States, a practice that remains legal in 19 states as it is constitutionally permitted according to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result of school corporal punishment, nearly 200,000 children are paddled in schools each year. Most Americans are unaware of this fact or the physical injuries sustained by countless school children who are hit with objects by school personnel in the name of discipline. Therefore, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools begins by summarizing the legal basis for school corporal punishment and trends in Americans’ attitudes about it. It then presents trends in the use of school corporal punishment in the United States over time to establish its past and current prevalence. It then discusses what is known about the effects of school corporal punishment on children, though with so little research on this topic, much of the relevant literature is focused on parents’ use of corporal punishment with their children. It also provides results from a policy analysis that examines the effect of state-level school corporal punishment bans on trends in juvenile crime. It concludes by discussing potential legal, policy, and advocacy avenues for abolition of school corporal punishment at the state and federal levels as well as summarizing how school corporal punishment is being used and what its potential implications are for thousands of individual students and for the society at large. As school corporal punishment becomes more and more regulated at the state level, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools serves an essential guide for policymakers and advocates across the country as well as for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students.
