Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the United States can provide equal educational opportunity to every child The United States Supreme Court closed the courthouse door to federal litigation to narrow educational funding and opportunity gaps in schools when it ruled in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez in 1973 that the Constitution does not guarantee a right to education. Rodriguez pushed reformers back to the state courts where they have had some success in securing reforms to school funding systems through education and equal protection clauses in state constitutions, but far less success in changing the basic structure of school funding in ways that would ensure access to equitable and adequate funding for schools. Given the limitations of state school funding litigation, education reformers continue to seek new avenues to remedy inequitable disparities in educational opportunity and achievement, including recently returning to federal court. This book is the first comprehensive examination of three issues regarding a federal right to education: why federal intervention is needed to close educational opportunity and achievement gaps; the constitutional and statutory legal avenues that could be employed to guarantee a federal right to education; and, the scope of what a federal right to education should guarantee. A Federal Right to Education provides a timely and thoughtful analysis of how the United States could fulfill its unmet promise to provide equal educational opportunity and the American Dream to every child, regardless of race, class, language proficiency, or neighborhood.
Download or read book Students Constitutional Right to a Sound Basic Education written by Jessica R. Wolff and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth in a series of reports that are the culmination of two years of research by the Campaign for Educational Equity, a policy and research center at Teachers College, Columbia University, and significant input from the Safeguarding Sound Basic Education Task Force, a statewide group made up of representatives from New York's leading statewide education associations, parent organizations, school business officials, and advocacy groups. In 2003, New York State's highest court ruled in "Campaign for Fiscal Equity v. State of New York" that the state's school-funding system violated students' rights under the education article of the state constitution. It held that New York City's 1.1 million public school students were being denied sufficient funding to provide them the "opportunity for a sound basic education." The court ordered the state to remedy this violation of students' rights. It directed the state government to take three actions: (1) determine the actual cost of providing a sound basic education; (2) reform the system of school funding and managing schools to ensure that all schools have the resources necessary to provide a constitutionally adequate education; and (3) develop "a new&system of accountability to measure whether the reforms actually provide the opportunity for a sound basic education." The "CFE" decision requires the state to ensure that "every school" has adequate resources to meet the needs of its students; therefore, accountability for a sound basic education must entail the assessment, monitoring, and enforcement of school-level resource adequacy. New York's current Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) policy development can help the state move toward compliance with the "CFE" decision and its promise of a meaningful educational opportunity for all New York children, as long as it is undertaken with careful attention to the court's rulings. This report provides analysis and recommendations to help ensure that the state's ESSA planning aligns with requirements of "CFE" and the education article of the state constitution. The report provides additional context for the discussion of resource accountability by describing the legal context and background of "CFE" and situating the discussion within a broader set of policies New York needs to adopt to guarantee students' educational rights and comply with the "CFE" decision. The report describes the contemporary education-accountability context under ESSA, details recommendations for a constitutional education-accountability system to guarantee adequate resources in every New York school, and highlights data-collection and accountability-system precedents from several other states that New York could adapt to satisfy its unique sound-basic-education accountability needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third in a series of reports that are the culmination of two years of research by the Campaign for Educational Equity, a policy and research center at Teachers College, Columbia University, and significant input from the Safeguarding Sound Basic Education Task Force, a statewide group made up of representatives from New York's leading statewide education associations, parent organizations, school business officials, and advocacy groups. In the landmark school-funding and educational-rights case "Campaign for Fiscal Equity (CFE) v. State of New York," the New York Court of Appeals held that New York City's 1.1 million public school students were being denied sufficient funding to provide them "the opportunity for a sound basic education," their right under the education article of the New York State constitution. The court ordered the state to remedy this violation of students' rights. Specifically, the court ruled that the state must (1) determine the actual cost of providing a sound basic education; (2) reform the current funding and management structures to ensure that all schools have the resources they need to provide a constitutionally adequate education; and (3) develop "a new&system of accountability to measure whether the reforms actually provide the opportunity for a sound basic education." Following the "CFE" rulings, the findings of a cost study undertaken by the state education department formed the basis for the foundation formula adopted by the legislature to implement the decision. The constitutional cost methodology described in this report (1) systematically applies constitutional standards, relevant state statutes, regulations, and other legal requirements related to education to the cost-analysis enterprise; (2) incorporates into the analysis evidence of resources and practices that have proved effective; and (3) is overseen by a permanent commission composed of policymakers, educators, and researchers that undertakes systematic cost-effectiveness analyses and recommends necessary revisions to the state's cost analyses every two years. The following is appended: Example of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis. [For Part 1, see "A Roadmap to Constitutional Compliance Ten Years after 'CFE v. State'" (ED573134).

This book was released on 2003-06-28 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1968 the Elementary and Secondary School Civil Rights Compliance Report (known as the E&S survey) has been used to gather information about possible disparities in access to learning opportunities and violations of students' civil rights. Thirty-five years after the initiation of the E&S survey, large disparities remain both in educational outcomes and in access to learning opportunities and resources. These disparities may reflect violations of students' civil rights, the failure of education policies and practices to provide students from all backgrounds with a similar educational experience, or both. They may also reflect the failure of schools to fully compensate for disparities and current differences in parents' education, income, and family structure. The Committee on Improving Measures of Access to Equal Educational Opportunities concludes that the E&S survey continues to play an essential role in documenting these disparities and in providing information that is useful both in guiding efforts to protect students' civil rights and for informing educational policy and practice. The committee also concludes that the survey's usefulness and access to the survey data could be improved.

Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice An award-winning constitutional law scholar at the University of Chicago (who clerked for Judge Merrick B. Garland, Justice Stephen Breyer, and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor) gives us an engaging and alarming book that aims to vindicate the rights of public school students, which have so often been undermined by the Supreme Court in recent decades. Judicial decisions assessing the constitutional rights of students in the nation’s public schools have consistently generated bitter controversy. From racial segregation to unauthorized immigration, from antiwar protests to compulsory flag salutes, from economic inequality to teacher-led prayer—these are but a few of the cultural anxieties dividing American society that the Supreme Court has addressed in elementary and secondary schools. The Schoolhouse Gate gives a fresh, lucid, and provocative account of the historic legal battles waged over education and illuminates contemporary disputes that continue to fracture the nation. Justin Driver maintains that since the 1970s the Supreme Court has regularly abdicated its responsibility for protecting students’ constitutional rights and risked transforming public schools into Constitution-free zones. Students deriving lessons about citizenship from the Court’s decisions in recent decades would conclude that the following actions taken by educators pass constitutional muster: inflicting severe corporal punishment on students without any procedural protections, searching students and their possessions without probable cause in bids to uncover violations of school rules, random drug testing of students who are not suspected of wrongdoing, and suppressing student speech for the viewpoint it espouses. Taking their cue from such decisions, lower courts have upheld a wide array of dubious school actions, including degrading strip searches, repressive dress codes, draconian “zero tolerance” disciplinary policies, and severe restrictions on off-campus speech. Driver surveys this legal landscape with eloquence, highlights the gripping personal narratives behind landmark clashes, and warns that the repeated failure to honor students’ rights threatens our basic constitutional order. This magisterial book will make it impossible to view American schools—or America itself—in the same way again.

Download or read book Legal Foundations of Education written by J.C. Blokhuis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, leading leading scholars and practitioners introduce law as foundational discipline in education. The legal foundations of education include the laws and policies through which particular states establish and maintain public school systems; require parents and guardians to enroll the children in their care in approved educational programs; mandate that particular subjects be taught in particular ways by persons with particular credentials; regulate teacher certification standards and teacher employment; and ensure school safety, effectiveness, and efficiency. Education law is a field of practice and scholarly inquiry within the legal foundations of education which is concerned primarily with the constitutional rights of students, teachers and other personnel in schools. About the Educational Foundations series: Education, as an academic field taught at universities around the world, emerged from a range of older foundational disciplines. The Educational Foundations series comprises six volumes, each covering one of the foundational disciplines of philosophy, history, sociology, policy studies, economics and law. This is the first reference work to provide an authoritative and up-to-date account of all six disciplines, showing how each field's ideas, methods, theories and approaches can contribute to research and practice in education today. The six volumes cover the same set of key topics within education, which also form the chapter titles: - Mapping the Field - Purposes of Education - Curriculum - Schools and Education Systems - Learning and Human Development - Teaching and Teacher Education - Assessment and Evaluation This structure allows readers to study the volumes in isolation, by discipline, or laterally, by topic, and facilitates a comparative, thematic reading of chapters across the volumes. Throughout the series, attention is paid to how the disciplines comprising the educational foundations speak to social justice concerns such as gender and racial equality.
