Book Description
School officials face a daunting array of legal responsibilities in managing student transportation. This monograph identifies and discusses the most important transportation problems facing school officials, despite the considerable variances among state requirements. Following the introductory section, section 2 describes school districts' and school boards' liability for transportation decisions, including school-bus safety and requirements, selection of transportation, care owed to students during transportation, and school defenses in transportation literature. The third section outlines the legal responsibility involved in the school district's duty to transport students, including governance decisions, general financial considerations, funding of transportation, transportation of nonpublic students, transportation for special-needs students, and transportation for desegregation purposes. A conclusion reached in the final section is that legislative or administrative statutes or regulations face judicial scrutiny under federal and state constitutional standards, as well as consistency within the total state legislative scheme. Transportation guidelines, a table of cases, and an index are included. (LMI)

Book Description
Nearly all building administrators are confronted with a variety of transportation issues. Challenges, concerns and questions can arise from various aspects, including student misbehaviors, transportation laws and its implications at the school level, to importance and implementation of a school bus safety program. As new and upcoming future administrators begin to gather a deeper understanding of managing and dealing with transportation issues, it is important to understand the implications of various data surrounding transportation concerns, so that educated decisions can be made with regards to working effectively at the building level with school transportation. Throughout an examination of literature regarding transportation issues, concerns and problems, three major areas preside: issues regarding school bus safety and particular laws, the trends within school bus transportation, and its effects on school bus transportation safety education. Information gathered from the literature review, indicates that an increased knowledge of the aspects of student transportation, coupled with an awareness of transportation laws, can lead to creating and/or effectively implementing a school bus safety education program. Amid all of the school transportation laws, research and issues, the implications for future administrators can be best summarized by stating, that collaborative efforts amongst all community stakeholders can play a vital role in assisting with the safety of children and the implementation of an effective school transportation safety program.

Book Description
School business officials (SBOs) must, in many respects, serve as all things to all people in their workplaces. Put another way, SBOs must be knowledgeable about a wide range of legal issues ranging from contracts to setting policy to state biding laws let alone constitutional matters involving the rights of students and teachers. Aware of the fact that issues involving the law are at the heart of many of a SBO's duties, the chapters in this edited book have been written by a diverse array of individuals with experience as educational leaders in schools and/ or who possess significant expertise in the school law. In light of the need to keep SBOs up-to-date on many issues in the ever changing world of Education Law, this volume is divided into two parts. The first section deals with issues that primarily impact on the management of schools while the second deals with the rights of students and teachers. More specifically, each of the chapters is designed to examine a specific area about which SBOs need information. While no single book can ever hope to cover all of the myriad of legal topics that SBOs and other educational leaders must master in their professional lives, this book will serve as an up-to-date and ready source of information to help keep them abreast of the many changes in the ever evolving area of school law.

Book Description
The purpose of this research is to provide school transportation supervisors and superintendents a set of guiding principles to refer to when administering and implementing school transportation programs. School transportation supervisors and superintendents need the practical knowledge of the rulings in recent court cases to develop policies and procedures for their school district. A solid base of knowledge in the current legal interpretations of statutes and policies will equip school transportation supervisors with vital knowledge to limit potential liability in the administration of school transportation programs. This dissertation is a qualitative, historical, document-based study of the legal cases related to school transportation from 1988-2011. The cases were briefed and analyzed to determine the issues, outcomes, and trends involving school transportation law. The analysis provided 38 guiding principles for school transportation supervisors and superintendents. The analysis reveals that the major issues of litigation were contracting for school transportation, eligibility for school transportation, district policies and procedures, the Common Carrier Doctrine and duty of care owed to students, and desegregation. From these issues, the analysis concluded the following: (1) courts were reluctant to intervene in local school transportation decisions concerning interpretation of statutes and policies; (2) an increase in the assertion of private and parochial school students to receive public school transportation services; and (3) an increase in court scrutiny over issues where the school district owed a duty of care to the student. School transportation supervisors and superintendents need to be cognizant of these trends to effectively implement school transportation programs.
