More and more, educators are placed in the role of investigators,
whether it's determining if a student has violated a discipline rule
or criminal law or inquiring whether an employee has breached the Code
of Ethics, state or federal law, or local board policy.
Additionally, sexual harassment cases may involve investigations of
alleged harassment in any of the following forms, employee on
employee, employee on student, student on student, and yes, student on
employee. The Conducting Investigation Handbook, a150+ page,
three-ring notebook, is designed to equip administrators with several
statues affecting investigations, numerous papers containing practical
advice, and various forms, checklists, and guidelines for the school
administrator's use when conducting investigations. In clear
understandable language, the authors, provide an in-depth analysis and
give educators wise, informative suggestions for determining the truth
of allegations and developing the record. This handbook covers
the following topics plus more:
