Equity through differentiation : the paradoxical quest to make education equal for everyone by making it different for everyone / Daniel Kiel -- Can faith-based charter schools survive constitutional challenges? / Charles J. Russo and Gerald M. Cattaro -- Beyond legal remedies : toward funding equity and improved educational opportunities for English language learners / Carrie Sampson and Sonya Douglass Horsford -- The achievement gap for English language learners : the law, the challenges, and a possible solution / Philip T.K. Daniel and Jeffrey C. Sun -- Managing life-threatening allergies in the school setting / Brenda R. Kallio, Richard T. Geisel, and Angela Jonasson -- The IDEA transition : individualizing educational opportunities for students with disabilities / Susan C. Bon and Nicole D. Snyder -- An overview of judicial and legislative responses to the bullying epidemic / Richard T. Geisel, Brenda R. Kallio, and Christa Brodina -- The importance of law and school policy in making schools safer for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth : lessons from Ontario / Christine Bellini and Julian Kitchen -- Use of disposition criteria in the approval process of teacher candidates by schools of education / Lawrence T. Kajs, Bettye Grigsby, and Kent A. Divoll -- Dispositional discipline : the challenge to institutional prerogative / Thomas Sheeran, Vincent Rinaldo, R. Michael Smith, and Walter Polka.
Over the past decade, No Child Left Behind, Common Core, Race to the Top, data mining initiatives, Title Ix gender equity, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and executive actions on immigration illustrate key federal initiatives that have redefined standards, priorities, and practices within educational institutions. Similarly, state policies in terms of school funding, school choice, teacher qualifications, student bullying, and other measures have added another layer of complexity to the education law and policy dialogue particularly when addressing matters of education inequality. These emergent policies beget the question: how have these policies contributed to easing the effects of educational inequality? The purpose of this book is to examine the role of law as potentially countering or impeding desirable education reforms, and it calls on readers to consider how policymakers, lawyers, social scientists, and educators might best alter the course in an effort to advance a more just and less unequal educational system.
