Actually, losing their accreditation might be enough to convince a court that you shouldn't be held to the 90 day notice requirement.  I'm not a lawyer, but it's entirely possible your lawyer could get you out of all or part of that 90 days.

For that matter, the "settlement value" of them suing you for 90 days tuition is likely (see your lawyer) to be less than the full 90 days tuition.

After getting my child, I wouldn't pay a red cent (even of back tuition if you're behind in payments) until I'd consulted an attorney, laid out the entire situation, and found out if I really had to pay and how much.

You can either get a referral from your local bar association to an attorney, or here is a site for special education attorneys--I have no affiliation with any of these people.

I don't know if a special ed attorney is what you need, *but* they may have some of the specialized knowledge of knowing the ins and outs of facilities.  Or talk to your local bar association and tell them it's a dispute with a facility about the bill and their services and whether they misrepresented them.  Maybe they can give you a good referral to an attorney who can handle that kind of thing as a general consumer business dispute.

The 90 day notice is a very bad joke.The program uses that to keep parents from bringing their kids home. A good contract attorney would point out the contracts are non enforcable because they are entered into under false pretenses.They are falsely represented to patrents.

I could provide many parents to substantiate that fact.If you want your kid home,You are the parent, bring the child home.

Demand the program to reimburse all of your money for having lied to you. If that is how you feel.

IMO from my personal experience.

Plus when the program told me I owe them for not providing them  a notice.I pointed out they still have a month worth left.I had paid ahead of time.

THEY reimbursed me.

The program is full of shit. They lie.

Wow, thank you all for your support.  The other parents just don't seem to get it. I mean they really don't get it. To clarify, I do have the right to get him anytime day or night.  I am going prepared with phone numbers just in case my son wants to officially file a complaint.  The 90 days is just the notice required because I enrolled him for 12 months. The full amt of the loan was paid to an affilate agency of the school and is dispersed each month in advance.  The challenge will be to get them to stop releasing the funds to the school.  As someone said, I'm afraid if released to the school, I will never see the money again.  We are talking alot of wasted money here.  Regardless, he is coming home.

Just one more thing, so some of you have already gotten out of the 90 day notice?

Got Him!  As if you were wondering, tell anyone you can to get their kids out.  Our dog gets better treatment.
