[quote=Anonymous]We are considering not returning to our school in the fall. We signed the re-enrollment contract--and paid a deposit--as of April 1. However, since then, there have been some incidents and issues that cause us to have strong reservations about sending our child back. These incidents essentially confirmed perceptions and concerns we had before that, but we didn't have full-blown confirmation that we were indeed right to worry. (I don't want to get too specific, as I know there are mothers from our school who post here.)

My question is perhaps for the lawyer moms and dads on the board but also for anyone who has gone through wanting to cancel/get out of your enrollment contract: should we be concerned that our school will go after us for the full tuition? We are of course feeling like we know we would not get our deposit back--which is very upsetting--but my larger worry is that they would come after us for the balance. (The enrollment contract, like others I assume, says we will pay the full amount for the school year in X number of installments.)

I know it probably would depend on the specific school and circumstances (we are a smaller school), but does anyone know how fiercely a school will go after you for the balance of tuition if you inform them you are not coming back?

Thanks in advance. We are really struggling with this and are extremely sad that it has come to this.[/quote]
