[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are they even learning in these final weeks?  Was he accepted to college?  Don't think they will care about final grades.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, DS is going to a 4 year university. I really do not want his grades to suffer at the end of the year as we are worried about potentially losing academic scholarship money. [/quote]

I would call and speak with all of the people already recommended to you. Lawyer & AJE, board of education, ANC rep, as well as the school social worker, ask for the mediation. Get a dozen copies of the police report and attach them to the communications.
As a back up if you have a good relationship with your teens doctor or a psychological doctor you could get a medical letter excusing your schol from school and stating do to health reasons he needs to work from home for x number of weeks. There is very little if anything the school can do to go against medical needs. I would say this is very easily a mental health issue, no on can function well if they feel their life is threatened. With all of the bullying and teens hurting themselves in situations like this no one in their right mind would allow this to go on. I know this may seem extreme to some and it isn't fair your kid would need to have a medical excuse to stay home. 
But 
It  might be a way to keep him safe until other avenues are able to make the school do the right thing.
