A Quiet Year at the Court on Education?

Mark Walsh, who watches education at the Supreme Court closer than anyone, has noted that there are no education cases currently on the docket for the Supreme Court's fall term (although there are some tangentially related cases he does a good job of explaining).

I think this is a good thing, relatively. We have had a pretty busy past few years and there have been some substantial legal changes affecting schools on teacher speech, student speech, student searches, various elements of special education, English-language learners, and other areas like employment law. It has just been solidly busy (not overly busy) the last few years so I think it is refreshing to have a slower year mixed in. Of, course, feel free to disagree ...
