School Policies

Editor Jamuna Carroll has compiled several intriguing essays that pull back the lid on the school policy process. The essays are arranged in a for-or-against sequence, allowing readers more than one perspective to evaluate. Are all school policies necessary and effective? Do school policies ensure students’ safety? Do school policies respect students’ rights? What school policies are needed in the future? Readers will examine these issues and form intelligent opinions. Essay sources include the Office of National Drug Control Policy, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and the American Psychological Association Zero Tolerance Task Force.
