Legal Question in Education Law in California
contract with a high school
Is there a legal obligation
between a parent and a private
high school if the tuition is not
paid. I'm planning in taking
my son out of the private
school he attends, but the
school is telling me that I must
paid the remaining balance. I
paid in advance for the first six
months and at the end of the
semester I was planning in
taking my son out. Is the
agreement that I signed a legal
debt?

Re: contract with a high school
yes, it is likely a valid contract; however, certain events can lessen or eliminate the requirement to pay. E.g., why are you taking your child out of the school? If he is ill, if the school environment is toxic--these ll can bare on your obigation.
