Legal

This publication is a convenient reference for superintendents, athletic directors, principals, coaches and other school officials. This book provides practical legal information about funding and staffing athletic programs, ensuring equal access to athletic programs, disciplining student-athletes, extracurricular student transportation, liability for sports injuries and other sports law topics. It also includes sample board policies.

This publication covers three primary topics: Ohio’s attendance laws, open enrollment and payment of tuition. While the basic attendance rules are fairly straightforward, the number of exceptions to the rules increases each year. The guide will help you determine whether a student is entitled to attend in your school district, what type of documentation you need to have and whether any special steps must be taken. It deals with students of divorced parents, students whose custody is in doubt, adult students and special education. Written in a question-and-answer format, this publication is a valuable addition to your legal library.
