Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I have joint custody of a 17 year old who transferred from a school located in the school district located in his mother's residential district to a school located in my residential district. The court order custody order provided that all decisions, specifically the minor's education/transfers, must be jointly made. My ex wife and I provided a written statement explicitly consenting to the original transfer as being in the best interest of our son. At the conclusion of this school year (May), I found out that my son had been transferred back to the school he transferred from without my consent. Prior to the transfer back, I notified both principals of each school that I suspected an attempt to transfer my son back to his previous school may be eminent, but such an action must have my expressed consent at which time I was not providing that consent. Both schools apparently ignored the court order and my directive. Do I have a actionable claim for damages against both school districts?
