The author offers leaders practical tools and strategies to create legally based?and ethically?sound approaches to dealing with and preventing bullying in schools.

There are many books and state/federal publications on bullying; however, the integration of legal mandates and guidelines with direct application is quite rare. I think this text offers a valuable and unique cross-discipline resource with its thorough review of legislative precedents.

Educators rarely receive this kind of detailed legal information in their graduate school studies. When people purchase this book, it will be like having their own lawyer sitting right next to them. Preface
