Curricular Control: Legal Pointers for Public Schools, Authored By: NSBA, Date Published: 7/15/2010, Page Count: 38, Product#: 278960
The state has considerable power to regulate curricular matters. Most state legislatures have traditionally delegated to local districts the power to establish curricular requirements, adopt materials, and set grading practices. However, recent education reforms focusing on standards, assessment, and accountability have spurred some states to reclaim some of this authority. No matter whether these requirements are imposed by the state or the local school district, students attending public schools must comply with them unless the law allows some exception, e.g., accommodation of a disability or religion.

Legal Pointers on School Board Authority: A School Law Primer, Authored By: NSBA, Date Published: 1/1/2010, Page Count: 33, Product#: 281111
Updated January 2010 - Public education is a state function. However, with a few states as exceptions, local school boards control it. The authority of school boards is derived from state constitutional, statutory, and/or administrative provisions. The specific scope of authority, as well as potential liability, is defined through statute, administrative regulations, and case law. In addition to specific state and federal statutes relating to education, school boards are also subject to laws governing public bodies, such as open meetings requirements.

Legal Pointers on School Safety: A School Law Primer, Authored By: NSBA, Date Published: 6/1/2011, Page Count: 26, Product#: 281197
Updated June 2011 - The continuing interest in school safety is fueled not only by several tragic events around the county, but also by the more common but less extreme violence that occurs far too frequently. As a result of acts of violence there is a fear among students, a feeling of loss of control by school staff, and calls for action from the community. What can schools do to reduce the risks of violence? Districts must face the reality that tragic violence cannot be completely eliminated by the actions of schools. Such violence is often the culmination of many factors over which schools have no control.
