Student Vandalism And Public Schools: The Scope Of The Illinois Educators' Directive To Discipline, Donald Shawler
Northern Illinois University Law Review
Following a brief review of the costs that student vandalism imposes upon society, and the history of discipline in public education, this Article turns to a discussion of the part due process considerations must play in Illinois school officials' decisions to suspend or expel pupils.

An appendix to the Article sets forth a proposed regulation to assist educators in dealing with student vandals.
