A: In Alabama, the ability for a student to switch to online schooling depends on the school district's policies. If a student is facing issues like harassment, discomfort, and declining mental health in a traditional school, it's important for the school to address these concerns. Parents or guardians should communicate with the school administration to discuss potential solutions, including switching to online schooling, if it better suits the student's needs. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
