public school law

Public school law encompasses the legal rules and regulations that govern public education systems. It ensures students receive a free, appropriate, and equitable education while respecting privacy, free speech, and civil rights. These laws address issues such as school funding, discipline, special education, and equal access regardless of race, gender, or disability. They also define the rights and responsibilities of students, parents, teachers, and school districts. Enforced by federal and state courts and agencies, public school law aims to create a safe, fair, and effective learning environment for all students.
