The information on this site does not constitute legal advice and is for educational purposes only. If you have a dispute or legal problem, please consult an attorney licensed to practice law in your state. Additionally, the information and views presented on this blog are solely the responsibility of Justin Bathon personally, or the other contributors, personally, and do not represent the views of the University of Kentucky or the institutional employer of any of the contributing editors.

This is the course page for EDL 628, School Law and Ethics, that Justin Bathon teaches at the University of Kentucky. This course is generally for existing teachers that are pursuing the principalship license and thus the course has a particular focus on legal elements that concern school leaders.

On this page you will find general information about the course, as well as links to all the content modules for the course. Feel free to explore, but if you are taking my course for credit, I expect you to complete all modules in a predetermined order. For more information about that order, and the related assessments, please consult the syllabus for your course.
