I suggest you look for an attorney whose practice is more directly employment law, if you do not hear back... Read more »
My college sent me an email with a balance back in December 2020. I have emailed them and never received a response even when I tried to make a payment. I was sent to collections and started receiving phone calls this month constantly. I have emailed my college and they claim to have never received... Read more »
A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a month. One could only speculate as to why the university is not responding to you. One reason could be (and this is only a guess) that once they send a matter to collection, they will stay clear - where the only line of... Read more »

If no one is willing to compromise, what will end up happening in terms of the law?
The first thing to do is review your divorce decree and/or child custody order. If one parent has sole legal custody, that parent decides where the child goes to school. This would be unusual. Joint legal custody is the norm. In some instances, however, a decree or order will indicate that the... Read more »
This is a difficult question to answer. Is it a private or public school? What type of punishment are you talking about? It seems like the tardiness would be excusable. Is there some sort of appellate process? Depending on what's going on it may or may not be worth the costs of hiring an... Read more »
There's just not enough information. But, this might be a starting point to get more information.

My son's school announced last year (before his Jr. year) that they would begin weighting courses on a 5.0 scale but would not retroactively weight the prior years for students (he took adv. & excell. courses then - as school pushed).

Yes
Is it still possible for me to become a attorney with a family violence misdemeanor in TX?
I do not know the answer but the first thing I would research is the investigation relating to the "Declaration of Intent" that all law school students must pass to become an attorney in Texas. The investigation decides whether or not you are mentally and morally fit to become an... Read more »
SSI disability? Is this a federal requirement? Are there consequences for a teacher who doesn't answer.
No, it is not mandatory that a teacher complete a Teacher Questionnaire. However, please consider completing either the questionnaire or a letter to describe your former student's functioning because the information you provide is an important part of the disability assessment. For more... Read more »
My child is coming home from 8 months of residential care. A PHP or IOP is being recommended as transitional care.
School districts are required to provide students on IEPs a free appropriate public education. You would have the burden of proving that your child requires the PHP or IOP in order to access his/her education.
You provide an interesting legal question. To fully address it, you will probably need to hire an attorney licensed to practice in Connecticut. I wish you the best of luck in the resolution of your question.
Sometimes, but it depends on the facts.

Has not given any paperwork related to my file despite repeated request. Was condescending when requested and even... Read more »

Using for a project but they denied my request because they said it violates security protocols.
Sure, you're allowed to ask, and they are allowed to say no.
Are you doing a homework assignment, or just curious about dress code laws? You have asked perhaps 8 questions all about various aspects of an employer's or school's right to enforce certain dress codes. The diversity of the factual bases for your questions suggest this is not about a... Read more »

It is a violation of IDEA for schools to place a student on an IEP out of district (or in any setting really) without parental consent. Moreover, placement should not be determined based on finances, but the needs of the student. I recommend contacting a local attorney, as I do not think, based... Read more »
An 18 year old asked a school assistant principal to drop out. The assistant principal refused to let the 18 year old student to drop out. Now the students is there against their will.
