What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I have an issue with a beauty college my son is attending and not sure what legal course we could take for it.
My son was in school and having personality conflicts with a teacher. We did get both sides of the story, the school and my son's, and this seems a very simple solution. The teacher had asked him inappropriate questions and made a few comments earlier in the school year, which were also inappropriate. One day he made a comment about her weight (called her fat) that she over heard, and the school counseled him and sent him home for three days. Upon return, my son attempted to apologize and start over with the teacher, but she would not accept his apology and walked out of the session. The school moved to send him to another campus, we agreed begrudgingly. The school held him out for another two weeks due to documentation problems, according to them. We called the head office of the school system this past Firday 10/3) to help the paper process along. They got right on it and told him to start back this week (Tuesday). Then we get a phone call message from someone representing the ownership of school with a bogus complaint against my son that he says he did not do, and they offer no proof of. The complaint was that he was texting everyone in the school and launching a campaign against this teacher. This is bringing on a second suspension now and the threat of re-enrollment fee and or expulsion. All of this action is over a misguided comment which most of us have committed in our lives and he fully accepts that responsibility and sees the error of his ways.
What recourse do we have? This school took $10k up front for the school year and now we are faced with a high likelihood of needing to withdraw and try another school that will have higher academic and professional standards.
I will be more specific if it is needed once someone engages me on this issue on a more private media.
Thanks.
