Making schools a place where everyone can succeed.

BOOK RELEASE

Student Discipline Resource Binder


I am pleased to announce the release of the 2nd edition of my Student Discipline Resource Binder: A Comprehensive Guide for K–12 Schools, Second Edition. Designed as a ready-to-adopt discipline binder for school districts, this updated edition combines practical legal guidance with step-by-step best practices for every stage of the discipline process.
 
Clear, accessible, and practice-focused, the book explains suspensions, investigations, expulsion hearings, special education discipline, discriminatory harassment, student records, and more—each topic illustrated with examples and ready-to-use sample forms. I have distilled decades of legal expertise into a user-friendly resource that any educator or administrator involved in student discipline should have on their shelf.
