Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Power and Authority of School Officers and Teachers in the Management and Government of Public Schools and Over Pupils Out of School as Determined by the Courts of the Several States
In a number of states the decision of all ques tions arising in the administration of schools is left to the school officers, with provisions for appeal from town or subordinate officials to those of the county, and thence to the highest school officials of the state. In some stat-es the final decisions are published. In making up this collection of cases I have not resorted to the decisions thus made, but have taken those rendered by courts. In the re ports of cases decided by school officials the state ment of facts and the decision are usually very mea gre and unsatisfactory, while the opinion of a court defines the principles governing the case. Again, the tribunals thus created within the school system follow and depend, in a large measure, upon the law as announced by courts.
I have added at the close of the book, in appendi ces, abstracts of the laws of the states relating to the supervision of schools, and the suspension, expulsion, and punishment of pupils, and other matters.
