Bon, University of South CarolinaPolicies intended to shape student achievement and access at schools and colleges have changed significantlyover the past decade. No Child Left Behind, Common Core, Race to the Top, data mining initiatives, Title IXgender equity, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and executiveactions on immigration illustrate key federal initiatives that have redefined standards, priorities, and practiceswithin educational institutions. Similarly, state policies in terms of school funding, school choice, teacherqualifications, student bullying, and other measures have added another layer of complexity to the educationlaw and policy dialogue particularly when addressing matters of education inequality. These emergentpolicies beget the question: how have these policies contributed to easing the effects of educational inequality?The purpose of this book is to examine the role of law as potentially countering or impeding desirable education reforms, and it calls on readers toconsider how policymakers, lawyers, social scientists, and educators might best alter the course in an effort to advance a more just and less unequaleducational system.
