Can my pubic school pay for my transfer to private school?
I am currently in a public high school (sophomore) and am being bullied and threatened on a daily basis. The school has done all they can, but it doesn’t stop. There is a Catholic High School a few towns away, but it’s private and there’s a tuition. Is my public school liable to pay the tuition for my transfer?
i know what you mean. i was bullied as a junior in hs. (i now go to a catholic high school). unfortunately, you can’t expect the public school to pay for you to transfer. because the public school you currently go to is the closest one to your house, you probably don’t have much of a choice and you would be 100% responsible for your tuition, not your current school. if the bullying hasn’t stopped, could you bring the issue up with the school board for your school district? i would recommend transferring anyway. i know my catholic school is very kind to transfer students and if money is a problem for your family, i’m sure the school would be more than happy to negotiate a more reasonable payment plan for your tuition. i hope this helps and best of luck!
