the worst! how did you handle dealing with the principal after that?

Consider yourselves very lucky to have options. Most kids are stuck where they are.

I was the first poster to respond to op, above. Our experience was with private. We had insurance. Look at the paperwork and call them for advice, they are surprisingly helpful

Our deal was we would get 60% of unused fees (i.e for the months not attending) back. If our child had been asked to leave by the school we would have had 75% of remaining fees unused.

Its so worth it.

Did you move to another private school, or to your public school? How did that process work?

We moved to our local publice mid year. High rated and we already had a child there. Our child was v lucky to get an amazing teacher and everything picked up pretty quickly, it was a huge relief and a successful rest of the year.
