Abstract	School board members generally understand the ramifications of the open meeting and public records of their states; however, they may not know whether their use of e-mail is subject to these laws. Legally, e-mail has as much potential exposure to liability as any other communication subject to the state open-meeting law, or as any unprivileged communication ultimately classified as a public record. Accordingly, the legal issue of whether such correspondence must be made available to the public has been raised. School leaders must, therefore, consider the legal implications of using e-mail to conduct public business. The laws of a number of representative jurisdictions regarding this are given. Additionally, case notes are supplied for lawsuits regarding disabilities, religion, students rights, as well as reviews of Supreme Court decisions, and other matters before the Court. (DFR)
