Texas Legal Handbook on Student Bullying

Recent teen suicides attributed to on-campus bullying have received nation-wide attention.  This easy reference handbook provides educators comprehensive and yet concise guidance on their legal responsibilities in handling student bullying, cyberbullying, and harassment.  It outlines state and federal laws that apply, provides an overview of guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, discusses real court cases brought against school districts and administrators, and offers practical strategies for avoiding legal liability.  It is imperative that administrators understand their legal obligations related to student harassment and bullying.  Those who do are better equipped to recognize and handle it when it happens on their campus.
