More About the WCRIS Legal Handbook
WCRIS urges you to keep this resource handy and refer to it regularly as you encounter questions about school operations, student matters or employee/employer issues. You may also want to share it with your school’s oversight committee so they have a tangible understanding of the daily challenges you face in running your school.
You can order another copy by clicking “Order Now” on the right side and emailing or mailing us your order form. WCRIS members pay only $50 per handbook, plus shipping and handling.
Many of you requested the availability of both paper and digital formats. So, the printing of this edition has been underwritten by a generous grant from Catapult Learning. Thank you!
