Four Strategies to Help Keep You out of Court
Teh, Mui Kim
School Business Affairs, v75 n9 p9-12 Oct 2009
School business officials and other education leaders worry now more than ever about facing legal battles. Maybe today's parents are more likely to run to the lawyer's office. Or maybe they simply expect everything to be a certain way--their way. Regardless, the result is the same: today's school leaders are likely to find themselves having to defend their actions in a legal arena. In this article, the author offers four viewpoints that can arguably be described as "solutions" to avoiding legal difficulties: (1) the "training" solution; (2) the "guidelines and leadership" solution; (3) the "relationship" solution, and (4) the "blended" solution.
