An Analysis of Legal Liability of Florida Public Educators and School Systems for Negligent Supervision of StudentsRobinson, Deron Thomas 05 1900 (has links)
The doctrine of sovereign immunity in Florida has evolved over time as the common law and statutory environment within the state has changed. Public schools and public-school employees enjoy some level of immunity protection under both common law and statutory law. Nonetheless, Florida law creates a duty to provide a safe environment for students and creates potential liability in certain circumstances when a public school or public school employee fails to do so. In this dissertation, I analyzed litigation efforts and protections provided to public schools and public-school educators in Florida under the Florida Tort Claims Act (FTCA) of 1973 for claims of negligent supervision of students. This dissertation provided an in-depth analysis of negligence cases, statutes, protections, and lawsuits brought under common law after the passage of the Florida Tort Claims Act of 1973.

How School-Delivered, Non-Instructional Services Become Formalized:One School System's HistoryDavis, Mary Elizabeth A. 13 May 2016 (has links)
Public schooling in the Unites States of America has long been the site of more than just meeting the academic needs of the country’s youth. Among the many roles the school house has played in the history of public schooling in the United States is the mechanism to deliver non-instructional services to students. School-delivered, non-instructional services are those services that extend beyond addressing the academically-disposed, educational needs of children and aim to meet the social, emotional, and physical needs of young people while they are in the care of educators. Through an historical example grounded primarily in archival research, I establish a genealogy of school-delivered, non-instructional services by examining how staffing developed in the Cobb County School District in Cobb County, Georgia during the 1938-39 to 1976-77 time period. I will point to the role of federal involvement in public education and the professionalization of social services during this time period to connect the changes that occur in the instructional employees and non-instructional employees, with a specific examination of lunchroom employees and counselors, in one school system.

Intégration scolaire des élèves handicapés par une déficience intellectuelle et droit à l'égalitéVenditti, Raymonde 07 1900 (has links)
"Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l'obtention du grade de Maître en droit (LL.M.)" / Est-ce que la décision de ne pas intégrer un élève handicapé sur le plan intellectuel dans
une classe régulière est un acte discriminatoire au sens où elle viole les droits à l'égalité
garantis par l'article 10 de la Charte québécoise et par l'article 15 de la Charte canadienne?
L'hypothèse formulée en réponse à cette question est: oui, cette décision est
discriminatoire parce qu'elle est fondée sur un motif illicite, à savoir le handicap.
Une fois établi le cadre conceptuel de cette recherche en précisant le sens des concepts de
discrimination, de handicap et d'intégration, l'étude de quelques décisions de la Cour
d'appel du Québec révèle que, pour cette Cour, la norme d'égalité n'est pas la classe
régulière, ce qui met en sourdine la conception de l'intégration comme droit objectif
garantissant l'égalité.
Ensuite, l'analyse de l'arrêt Eaton de la Cour d'appel de l'Ontario montre comment cette
décision a suscité l'enthousiasme de ceux qui croyaient avoir trouvé dans le droit à l'égalité
garanti par l'article 15 de la Charte canadienne un appui ferme pour l'intégration.
Toutefois, la position de la Cour suprême dans l'arrêt Eaton a refroidi cet enthousiasme en
rejetant toute présomption en faveur de l'intégration, lui préférant le critère du meilleur
intérêt de l'enfant comme garant du droit à l'égalité pour les élèves intellectuellement
handicapés. Ainsi, pour la Cour, le fait de ne pas intégrer ces élèves ne constitue pas en soi
une forme de discrimination. / Does the decision not to integrate an intellectually disabled student in a regular c1ass
constitute a discriminatory action in the sense that it violates equality rights guaranteed by
section 10 of the Quebec Charter and by section 15 of the Canadian Charter ? The
hypothesis formulated as an answer to that question is : yes, that decision is discriminatory
because it is based on a forbidden ground, namely disability.
The conceptual framework of this research is established by defining the concepts of
discrimination, disability and integration. Then, the study of sorne Quebec Court of
Appeal's decisions shows that in this Court's view the equality standard is not the regular
c1ass, a position that underscores the conception of integration as an objective right
ensuring equality.
Next, the analysis of the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision in Eaton shows how that
decision has aroused the enthusiasm of those who thought that they had found a firm
support for integration in the equality rights guaranteed by section 15 of the Canadian
Charter.
However, the Supreme Court's ruling in Eaton has dampened that enthusiasm by rejecting
any presumption in favor of integration, and rather adopting the child's best interest
criterion as ensuring equality rights for intellectually disabled students. Thus, in the Court' s
view, the fact of non integrating those students does not by itself constitute a form of
discrimination.

The Inclusion of Texas Literature in Texas Public School CurriculaHill, Billy Bob 12 1900 (has links)
The Inclusion of Texas Literature in Texas Public School Curricula advocates the organized inclusion of Texas literature in Texas public schools. The first chapter, the introduction, establishes the study's contention that Texas literature, an internationally admired body of literature, is worthy of an organized state inclusion. Another contention in the introduction is that this inclusion would offer its own needed content while reinforcing concepts and skills already mandated for social studies and English and language arts classes.

Public School Choice : An Impact AssessmentDavis, Casi G. (Casi Gail) 12 1900 (has links)
The goal of this thesis is to understand the consequences of educational choice in the public school system. The research takes place in San Antonio, Texas. The research encompasses meaningful comparisons between three sets of low income students and their families: 1) those who chose to remain in their attendance-zone school, 2) those who enrolled in the multilingual program, and 3) those who applied to the multilingual program but were not admitted because of space limitations.

The Status of Transitional First Grade Programs in Regions 10 and 11 in North Central TexasAngove, Dawn A. (Dawn Annyce) 12 1900 (has links)
The purposes of this study were to identify public school districts that currently offer, or are planning to offer, transitional first-grade programs, to describe existing transitional programs, to describe the genesis of transitional first-grade classes in the North Texas area, and to assist in the establishment of a networking system for schools in the North Central Texas area that currently have, or are planning to have, transitional first-grade classes.
The 158 school districts in Regions 10 and 11 were surveyed. The findings of the study indicate that about one-third of the districts offered transitional first-grade programs during the 1988-89 school year, and two-thirds of the districts saw a need for transitional first-grade classes. These transitional programs were implemented to meet the needs of children who had completed kindergarten but were not ready for regular first grade.
Transitional first-grade programs focus primarily on language arts and math skills for kindergarten and early first grade. While curriculum materials vary from district to district, language arts is likely to be based on a whole-language approach, and math is likely to focus on manipulatives..
Kindergarten teacher observation is used in the screening procedures in the majority of the districts. A number of instruments are used in the transitional screening process. The Gesell School Readiness Inventory, used in 24% of the districts, is most popular. About one-half of the districts use an informal method of evaluating the transitional program. A pretest-posttest method is used in 32% of the districts, and a longitudinal student tracking method is used in 20% of the districts.
Of the 158 districts surveyed, 122, or 77%, of the districts are interested in being included in a networking system to exchange information about transitional first-grade programs.
