"Education law is
the area of law relating to schools and that deals
mainly with schools, school systems and school boards
charged with educating our children. Who is Responsible
for Public School Systems? The states and local
subdivisions are primarily responsible for operating the
nation's public school system. Many state constitutions
make the public schools a responsibility of the state or
local government. Each state develops, maintains and
operates its own school system within its own state
boundaries, which is why there are significant
differences among the states in the management of
schools and the mechanism for financing public schools."
