This handbook suggests for students the greatest amount of freedom allowable under law that is commensurate with adult responsibility for student health, safety, and welfare. The text presents a broad spectrum of student rights and responsibilities as well as questions that are often raised by student groups. An essential aspect of these guidelines encompasses the concept that student rights entail the acceptance of self-discipline and responsibility. An appendix contains the Constitution of the United States, the California Education Code, and the California Administrative Code. (Author/JF)
