This manual is designed to provide educators, primarily administrators, with basic legal information on issues concerning student rights in North Dakota. Chapters are presented on (1) the right to an education, (2) the freedom of religion, (3) the right to privacy (in school records and in searches), (4) freedom of expression (in general, in publications, and in curriculum and book selection), (5) the right to a safe environment (protection from negligence), and (6) the rights to substantive and procedural due process in matters of student discipline. Each chapter is arranged in a question-and-answer format, though the answers to many of the questions are not certain, due to constant change and new developments in this area of law. Citations are included from court cases, statutes, and federal regulations. (TE)
