School BullyingSchool Bullying: Tools for Avoiding Harm and Liability
By Mary Jo McGrath, Attorney at Law
With Contributions from Maureen A. Charles

Corwin Publishers 1st Edition – August 2006

A Must Read for All School Administrators!

 

In School Bullying: Tools for Avoiding Harm and Liability, author Mary Jo McGrath draws on over 25 years experience as a school law attorney, expert witness, and consultant in matters of peer harassment and student misconduct. She makes a solid case for approaching the subject of bullying from a legal perspective and shows school administrators exactly how to navigate through the murky waters surrounding these issues. The book includes an overview of bullying behavior as it occurs in schools including the latest research on social scheming among girls and the new trend of technobullying via electronic devices and email. The areas of applicable law and potential liability are presented in user friendly terms that make the duty to protect students both clear and accessible. The author lays out a systematic approach that includes step-by-step practices and procedures for identifying actionable incidents and patterns of behavior, complaint intake, complaint management, informal inquiry, documentation and investigation. Forms, checklists, samples policies, useful web sites and a law case digest are also included.

Comments from Peer Reviewers:

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

"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 legal and legislative precedents."

"School Bullying: Tools for Avoiding Harm and Liability demonstrates considerable experience with a perspective that uniquely blends legal, educational, and administrative expertise in addressing bullying issues."
