Q: Can I sue the school for "accidental admitting" of my daughter?
My kids is 7 and in kindergarten. Her school is telling me that she can no longer go there because she doesn't live in the district. My biggest issue is the fact that half the school year is already over. She has been in this school since August with no issues whatsoever. 2 days ago, I was told that this would be her last week at this school as she didn't meet the requirements. The district manager told me that it was his fault and he didn't read her file when he accepted her to the school. This is her FIRST EVER school year and I'm mad that I'm having to change schools in the middle of the year. She's gonna be around strangers now until she makes new friends. It's gonna be very difficult for her to understand what's going on. Can I do anything about this? Why accept her in the first place if she wasn't eligible?
A: You have not stated a harm for which the law provides a remedy. If the child is not actually in the district then the school has no duty to educate her.
