Schools

Recently, social services came in on me. I had been homeschooling my kids for 6 years, but when we went to court the judge ordered me to put them in school. How long is this court order in effect? Would I be able to withdraw my kids again after the state closes this case without facing criminal charges?

My child is a graduate of State Regional High School class of 2006. The school sends home a contract regarding the rules and regulations of any school sponsored activity including prom and graduation. One of the rules in the contract states that any student in attendance who is not considered in good standing cannot participate in any school sponsored event including graduation and/or prom. However, my problem is my son was asked to attend the prom by a student considered in good standing by all the rules, The young lady purchased the prom tickets last week and was informed today 5/8/07 that her prom date, my son, cannot escort her to the prom because when he graduated last year he was not in good standing based on his academic performance and too many absences and tardies; which as a result, he could not attend the prom last year when he was a student at State Regional High School. The contract only stipulates that seniors/students of the graduating class of 2007 have to adhere to the rules of the contract, not students who have already graduated. The young lady's mom spoke to the Vice Principle and the School Superintendent and received negative results.

My Neice is 18 years old and a Senior in high school in Florida. She is living with her Grandfather since Sept 2006. She wants to attend an ROTC summer camp during the summer but the school requires she get her parents signature notorized for power of attorney in case of emergency medical treatment. The parents do not insure her and she carries her own medical insurance. And more importantly, her parents will not sign. Can the school require their signature or can she legaly sign for herself?

Can Utah schools force a student to take Saturday school for a fee?
