Here it is! The brand new sixth edition of "Your Rights in School and in the Community," the student rights handbook of the Nassau Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union. Written in plain English, this 38-page booklet discusses the rights and responsibilities of public school students in school as well as the rights of all students – public, private and parochial – and the public at large when in the street, in contact with police and in the courts.

Since the last edition in 1997, in addition to updating questions about student press rights, school prayer, dress codes, drug testing, sexual harassment, discipline, absence and truancy, guns, metal detectors, searches, and residency requirements, new questions have been added about Codes of Conduct, the Internet, bullying and hazing, marriage and pregnancy, and HIV and AIDS testing. All questions include legal citations for use by teachers, school officials and attorneys.
