DeMitchell, Todd A. University of New HampshireE-Mail authorTODD A. DEMITCHELL is a Kimball Fellow and professor in the Department of Education and Justice Studies Program at the University of New Hampshire. His research interests are the legal mechanisms that impact schools and colleges, such as education law, collective bargaining, and policy analysis. Recent publications include Negligence: What Principals Need to Know to Avoid Liability (Roman & Littlefield Education, 2006); “Academic Freedom and the Public School Teacher: An Exploratory Study of Perception, Policy, and the Law” in Brigham Young University Education and Law Journal (with Vincent Connelly); and “Teacher Perceptions of Professionalism and Unionism: A Tangled Relationship” in Education Law Reporter (with Casey Cobb). Todd A. DeMitchell, Stephen Kossakoski & Tony Baldasaro - 2008 Superintendents are responding to the constitutionality of student drug-testing policies by implementing drug-testing programs. Are superintendents implementing drug-testing policies in response to recent court decisions that have allowed for the preemployment and the suspicionless drug testing of teachers? A mixed methodology was used to address the following questions: (1) Have school districts adopted a mandatory drug-testing policy, either preemployment or suspicionless, for teachers? (2) Do superintendents support a mandatory drug-testing policy, either preemployment or suspicionless, for teachers? (3) Do superintendents have differentiated support for preemployment and suspicionless drug-testing policies for teachers? This study found that superintendents believe that they have the authority, without offending the Constitution, to implement teacher preemployment and suspicionless drug-testing policies.
Todd A. DeMitchell, Richard Fossey & Suzanne Eckes - 2007 In California, a lesbian school girl sued school authorities, arguing that her constitutional right to privacy had been violated when her principal disclosed her sexual orientation to her mother. The case, Nguon v. Wolf, provides useful guidance to educators about how and when to discuss a student's sexual orientation with the student's parents. Todd A. DeMitchell & Casey D. Cobb - 2007 Teachers are arguably the most heavily unionized workforce in America. They are also professionals. How do teachers fit together these seemingly disparate roles—union member and member of a profession? Todd A. DeMitchell & Scott Fletcher - 2008 Educators owe a legal duty to their students to protect them from foreseeable harm. Educators, as professionals, are also required to act in an ethical manner towards their students. But what happens when the duty to protect conflicts with the wishes and legal rights of the parents and possibly the student? A do not resuscitate order for a student challenges the legal duty to protect and the professional demand to act ethically. Unfortunately, this situation occurs within the special education community of our public schools with heart wrenching frequency. Todd A. DeMitchell, Suzanne Eckes & Richard Fossey - 2009 School districts received a welcome message from a recent decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. In Palmer v. Waxahachie Independent School District, the court ruled that a Texas school district has the authority to a adopt student dress code that bans all messages on students' clothing so long as the district offers students other means of expression during the school day. Todd A. DeMitchell & Richard Fossey - 2009 Should public schools adopt the business model of Google? Is selling advertising space inside the schoolhouse gate an answer to our chronically underfunded public schools? Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2011 May a school punish students for wearing breast-cancer awareness bracelets that include the word "Boobies"? A federal court says no. Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2011 A Wisconsin school teacher was fired for viewing pornography on a school computer in an incident that lasted only a few seconds. Richard Fossey, Todd A. DeMitchell & Suzanne Eckes - 2012 Public school leaders need guidance from the Supreme Court concerning their authority to regulate students' internet-delivered speech that is hurtful to others in the school community. Richard Fossey, Suzanne Eckes & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2014 An Illinois school board fired a tenured guidance counselor because he self-published a sexually explicit advice book on adult relationships. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the school board's decision on the grounds that the board reasonably believed that the book could undermine the integrity of the school counseling program. Todd A. DeMitchell - 2016 Richard Fossey, Todd A. DeMitchell & Suzanne Eckes - 2016 Do students have a First Amendment right to write about controversial topics and express controversial ideas in a university classroom? In some cases they do, as a federal court in New Mexico recognized in a brief opinion released in 2014. But then the court reversed itself a year later. Suzanne Eckes, Todd A. DeMitchell & Richard Fossey - 2016 Only one federal circuit court of appeals has addressed the legal issues involved with allowing a transgender student to use the restroom that aligns with his gender identity. We analyze this court opinion and discuss the status of the law for school officials. Suzanne Eckes, Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2013 Protecting the Legal Rights of LGBT Students to Attend the Prom Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2011 Can a teacher be fired for soliciting sex on craigslist? A California court says yes. Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2018 In a recent decision, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a male student accused of sexual assault has a constitutional right to confront his accuser at a university disciplinary hearing. Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2019 A federal judge ruled that a charter school's regulation requiring female students to wear skirts violates the Equal Protection Clause. Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2019 In McNeil v. Sherwood School District 88J, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals made clear that a school district may expel a student for out-of-school speech that contains threats of violence against other students without violating the First Amendment, even if the student never communicates those threats to anyone. Todd A. DeMitchell - 2006 The basic argument for adopting school uniforms is that merely a change of clothes will bring about desired behavioral and academic student outcomes. That a uniform transforms individuals appears to be at the heart of the argument. But, does just wearing a uniform bring about changes in behavior? Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2006 Free speech in the schools can have a bruising quality. The Ninth Circuit was correct when it said that in some instances student speech can be psychologically painful to others—especially vulnerable students like the gay and lesbian students that Tye Harper’s T-shirt criticized. But it is a very dangerous thing for a court to allow schools to propound the officially approved viewpoint on a particular controversial topic and then censor the views of those who disagree. We believe that the Supreme Court should accept Tye Harper’s appeal and restore the proper balance that Tinker established over 35 years ago between the student’s right to speak on unpopular topics and the school’s legitimate interest to maintain a proper educational environment for those same students. Richard Fossey & Todd A. DeMitchell - 2007 In any event, thanks to Frederick v. Morse, we will soon know whether a sign proclaiming “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” deserves constitutional protection in the context of a school-monitored activity. We hope the Supreme Court will declare that this phrase is not constitutionally protected as it was used in Frederick v. Morse and thus preserve the majesty of the First Amendment for topics that are worthy of its shelter. Richard Fossey, Todd A. DeMitchell & Suzanne Eckes - 2007 Unfortunately, students and teachers still experience discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation. Nevertheless, thanks to progressive legislators and courts scattered around the country, discrimination in the schools based on sexual orientation is headed toward the dustbin of American history. Among all the problems that public schools face, it is reassuring to know that the civil rights of gays and lesbians in American schools are expanding and not in retreat.
