Natural parent moving out of district. Signing over guardianship to the person still living in district. District is asking who will claim child on this years tax return. Does the district have the right to view either parent or guardians tax returns?
Absolutely. That is how they prevent the fraud of a non-resident student trying to get a better school.
I'm very sorry this happened to you. If you're seeking an attorney, it might be more productive to use the Find-a-Lawyer feature above. The Q & A format here is unlike an attorney referral service, where an attorney would come forth to offer services. The format here is instead geared... Read more »
I'm a student at a CUNY college and during this Spring semester I took 5 classes and most, if not all, had math-related topics. I was able to manage keeping a good grades for all but one class, Linear Algebra. I had a decent grade on my first exam, I studied for the second midterm, which was... Read more »
This is a serious matter. Having admitted to cheating, you have few options. You must not admit to anything again, and find a way out of this that does lead to expulsion.
25 min from us, and demands that he goes to school where she lives. She lives in a high crime area and very low standard school district. We split 50/50 custody. We would like to have their son go to school where we live, where a parent is home 24/7, so no daycare is needed before or after school.... Read more »
It is difficult to answer the question without seeing any agreements the parties signed as part of their divorce and the judgment of divorce. However all things being equal, if the matter was brought before a court, there is a good chance that the court would allow the child to go to school in... Read more »

An attorney who specializes in education law would have the best insight here, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, despite the ordeal it has caused you, there could be more economical ways of approaching something like this, maybe through academic advisor or... Read more »
for Nevada
This involves a Nevada statute. There's no guarantee all posts are picked up, but there might be better chances of a response if you reposted under Nevada. Good luck

If I provide my own do I risk liability? Or what if I become sick would that void district's liability?
It would be best if an employment attorney took your question, but it remains open for four weeks. Until you are able to get the input of someone with expertise in this area (or if you are not able to ultimately get a response), one measure you could consider would be to present your proposed...

What impact will this have on my filing for unemployment benefits?
Generally, when you resign voluntarily you do not qualify for unemployment insurance. However, under these circumstances, you could still file a claim. If your employer does not contest your claim, you will likely receive unemployment benefits. If the employer does contest your claim, you could... Read more »
Hi. Following up on first response from Michael Siegel. My case is an odd one. My kids were enrolled in the district where we all lived with my ex-girlfriend. After the breakup, I moved. Though there's bedrooms for them at my new residence, they've been staying for the majority of the... Read more »
If you have left your kids with a non-relative who is not a formal legal guardian, and left, you have more problems than the school. If child services finds out, they will open a case. Either maintain a legal residence with your ex-girlfriend, or make her a legal guardian. Do not leave this... Read more »
Hi, hope you’re well. I have a question regarding residency for schooling on Long Island. I am a single father and live with my two teenage children in Suffolk County. We used to live with my ex-girlfriend in a Nassau County town, and my kids were enrolled in school there. I had to move... Read more »
If they do not live in the town where they go to school they will be thrown out and must go where you live. While you might be able to phony up a lease, the issue is where they sleep at night. If the district finds out mid-year, you could be thrown out ASAP. If your kids spill the beans on the... Read more »
I applied for a nursing program at a local community college within the deadline period. I’ve been waiting for an acceptance letter, which was to be sent out the 3rd week of April. It turns out my application was never put in the system and I was completely overlooked, while my grades are higher... Read more »
No. You were not discriminated against. You were just a victim of bureaucratic error. You have no contract with them just by applying. I see no case.
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.
Greetings. Based on your inquiry, it appears you have been disciplined in some way by your academic institution that you feel is incorrect. The proper procedure for addressing an institution's actions is by way of an Article 78 filed in NY Supreme Court (if all internal procedures have been... Read more »
For legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons? What's wrong with that as long as you follow company policies and procedures and the union contract?
A lot depends on the evidence, the perpetrator and the timing
Under the new law in New York, you can file a criminal complaint against your abuser and sue them civilly. The statute of limitations is eliminated.
My son is a 14 year old boy with Dx of school phobia x 7 years. He recently graduated from a district 20 Brooklyn phobia program. He was accepted into a regular HS and was not able to make the change from a phobic program to a regular school. I am placing an impartial hearing to try and get DOE to... Read more »
What does the IEP say about placement now? You need to have a private opinion from a psychologist that the placement in the IEP is wrong, and call an emergency CSE to amend the IEP. If the IEP is changed to require private school, you are good. Your expert might have to come and present his/her... Read more »
The document was missing goals, and the district removed two agreed goals, resulting in inappropriate/ no reporting. Now are removing services with no progress reports to support. When realized error, they altered the document to cover up one goal was missing at reporting time.
Request an emergency CSE in writing to address these issues.
She is almost 16. (5 months) and now wants to drop out due to the legal pressure and due to her mental health. Can they still keep this case on me if she does? They gave me educational neglect! This is all mental health related so why is it a crime against us? Also, They did not give her an IEP. I... Read more »
Why is it a crime? Because that is how the system works. If she has an IEP, you need to call an emergency CSE and get placement so there is no neglect. If she has no IEP, you must demand an immediate educational evaluation. Then, do whatever they say to save yourself. On dropping out, it is... Read more »
