Legislative Notes: The Education Of All Handicapped Children Act Of 1975, Donald W. Keim

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Part I reviews the landmark judicial decisions which have established the right of handicapped children to participate in free, public education. The basic provisions of the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 are then presented in Part II. The funding provisions are discussed in Part III with particular emphasis upon the tension between the promise of federal largesse and the expense of compliance with statutory and judicial requirements. Part IV reviews prior efforts to obtain judicial recognition of a substantive right to an appropriate education and suggests some ways in which the 1975 Act may alter the framework …

Reductions In Force Rationale: Teachers "Riffed" In Levy Losses, Patricia J. O'Hanley

Washington Law Review

This comment will review the development of due process requirements for teacher reduction in force in Washington, and will consider the specificity of notice required and the use of seniority as a standard for nonrenewals. It will examine the adverse impact of the Pierce decision in implicitly upholding the delegation of staff reduction responsibility by schools' boards of directors to individual building personnel, concluding that seniority no longer holds the preferred position of the earlier interpretation in Thayer v. Anacortes School District, but is modified by individual district policies and guidelines.

Education And The Law: State Interests And Individual Rights, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

No government activity exerts a more pervasive influence on Americans for a longer period of their lives than the regulation of education. The state seeks through its educational system to achieve two goals: the development of the basic reading, writing and other academic skills that any productive member of society must possess; and the inculcation of values deemed essential for a cohesive, harmonious and law-abiding society. Basically, through uniformity and standardization of the education experience the state attempts to guarantee that children will not become liabilities to society and that a minimal acceptance of shared values and norms will be …

The Family Educational Rights And Privacy Act Two Years Later, Katherine Cudlipp

University of Richmond Law Review

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the so called Buckley Amendment, grants parents the right to inspect all records that schools maintain on their children and to challenge any contents they believe are inaccurate or misleading. The Act also requires that parents consent before information from school records is released to those outside specified educational categories. Once a student reaches eighteen years of age or enters a postsecondary educational institution, he assumes these rights in his parents' stead. The penalty for failure of an educational system or institution to comply with the law is loss of all …
