Human Resources Management in Public Schools

The management of a school, in all its facets, is an enormous task, and when things go wrong in the staffroom, it is highly likely that the institution could become one of the tragic statistics on dysfunctional schools.
A principal must navigate three different sets of legislation in managing the various employee categories at the school. Human Resources Management in Public Schools: A Practical Guide provides an overview of the most important laws and regulations affecting schools in this area and explains their practical implications.
