[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Thanks everyone, for the information/advice and the sympathy. It has indeed been hard. There are many things we like but some incidents have been too difficult to ignore (one involves DC being injured while off-campus with his class and neither teachers not parent chaperones assisting DC or calling to let me know).

There is no language on the contract for "performance" deadline (I wish there were). Just the deadline of April 1 for us to sign the tuition agreement/re-enrollment form, with which we enclosed the deposit and signed, agreeing to pay the tuition over X number of payments. There is a discount if we pay the tuition in lump sum by July 1, which we opted not to do, instead opting for monthly payments starting September 1. [/quote]

So why not call the school, and let them know that because of this incident, and the School's negligence, you simply do not feel safe letting your child return.  Tell them you do not wish to sue them over this ncident, and will not insist on getting your depost back, but you assume they understand you will not be returning or paying full tuition.  If not a Big 3-5 ( yes, I hate this term but here I think it is relevant) this should be enough to scare them.  They'd rather not risk a lawsuit.  Maybe you should consider hiring a lawyer to help you draft such a letter so it can be carefully worded, given the circumstances (i.e., the subtle but clear point that you will not sue them for negligence and in exchange they will not come after you for full tuition).  Lawyer could also take a look at the contract and give an option  on whether you are even contractually bound at this point for full tuition.   Good luck![/quote]
