Your current state is Virginia
It is for school, I am apart of Defense and my case is really weak.
You could build up your case by looking up decisions that support the positions you need to argue. The more cases you find in your jurisdiction, the stronger you will make your case. Good luck

I enroll in British Academy of Interior Design - October 2019, they have a policy that you can get your money back up to 14 days after you enroll. But I continued with the course, after 5 months non stop trying to pass the first assignment, I can't. The only help which I get from my tutor is just... Read more »
This could be a difficult case to pursue because the Academy did provide specific guidelines for withdrawl and refund, and a court could find those to be clear and reasonable. It's up to you, because you probably don't want to continue pouring good money after bad to chase a futile recovery (and... Read more »
It was a hazardous wire in front of a TV, then said student accidentally broke the TV would the student then have to pay for a replacement?
It could depend on the school district. Many districts across the nation would let it go, treating it for what it was, an accident. Students should not be held accountable if their conduct was accidental. Further, there could be insurance to cover such losses. Your question remains open for four... Read more »
My child is a senior this year, her school has sent out letters saying they wish to go cyber for the rest of the year March 30th. Our family is quarantined at the moment because we have family members who would not be able to survive the virus and the virus is close. Is it legal for my child’s... Read more »
Yes, the school is within its legal rights to disseminate education to its students through online learning. Requiring students to attend school, in person, could put more students at risk than necessary, so providing online education would not violate any laws.
While school is closed, they are making us file unemployment I have over 120 PTO hours is this legal?
It appears that this private education company is attempting to avoid possible disaster caused by a bunch of teachers all going out on PTO at the same time; however, the way they are trying to avoid closing down is probably unlawful. Look for an experienced employment lawyer who is familiar with... Read more »

I am sorry to hear about your situation. If abuse has occurred, you might consider speaking to your school counselor about the matter. That counselor could make a report to social services.
If it was a test setting, yes, because phones are equated with getting outside help. Good luck

This is a contract for salary
not service. The school shut down the day of start of season
You should read the contract. If it was well written there would be a force de majure clause. The clause let's parties out of the contract for events beyond their control.
The clause may not be in there, and there maybe clauses in your favor, but without reading the contract no real... Read more »
what can i do ? i cant pay out of pocket. private school wont keep him unless he has a tutor but they dont want to help me in any way
You have two choices. Get an IEP from the school district mandating tutoring paid by the district. Or, leave the private school. Private schools do not have to accommodate you on this point.
I went to study abroad only because the program was going to help me pay my tution. When I arrived to the other country they said "sorry we can't help you. Get a student loan." I was in serious frustration and started to worry a lot because I did not know this was going to happen to me. The program... Read more »
I suggest you seek advice from an attorney in your area - perhaps a general litigation attorney or bankruptcy attorney. There are insufficient details in your submission for me to respond with any specifics. For instance, is the loan you have a student loan obtained from the Dept. of Education... Read more »
I have a particular contract with my work. I am allowed to work up to 40 hours a week 37.5 weeks out of the year. My position is on site as a technician in the sculpture department. The school is shutting down their onsite operations for at least 3 weeks. They have asked workers who can work from... Read more »
The answer to your question will depend entirely on the terms of your contract. Unless modified by contract your employer has no duty to pay you for periods of time that you are not working due to closure. It would be wise for you to locate and consult with an experienced employment law attorney... Read more »
It might be up to the schools in which you are seeking admission. They should be able to provide an answer. Good luck

On January 22nd, 2019, Sara, my daughter, was pushed by another student and fell on her head on a concrete floor covered in carpet.
The coordinator of the Tawheed center, Wahajuddin, refused to call the police to report the incident, instead, he called me and asked me to pick up my daughter... Read more »
You raise a number of good issues; however, I believe it is less complicated. The school must have premises liability to cover any injuries to persons on the premises that are there legally. The facts that you allege regarding negligence help your argument and serve to defeat a defense that your... Read more »
Do you think after Zelman v. Simmons-Harris that Congress could make a general school voucher program that applied to all children in distressed school districts in the United States?
How would a program like this hold against Constitutional Scrutiny?
I have not read that decision, but you await a response for four weeks. Your question might be better suited for discussion with a constitutional law scholar familiar with the decision than for the brief format of this question and answer board. Good luck

You have not asked a question. Read what has been served upon you, then either ask a question here or hire an attorney. If you are the Defendant you must act quickly or a Default will go down against you.
I am a senior in high school and my parents recently received a letter from the school stating that I have had 40 absences (30 unexcused) during my senior year; in this letter they cited the Georgia Compulsory Education Law; however, this law doesn’t apply to children over 16. So, is there an... Read more »
You are correct that the compulsory school attendance law does not apply to 18 year olds. It primarily serves as a way for the state to punish parents for their student's truancy. However, each school district has discretionary powers to determine the nature of absences and the requirements for... Read more »

Consult your school principal. If he says it is permissible to wear the body armor, then do so without reservation.

Based on your question you can't drop the case and request DCS leave you alone. Once a report is made they investigate and go from there.
