Because it wasn't illegal, on school grounds, or during school hours, no matter what the contract says, the school does not have a right to suspend him for this. Plus, the principal signed the permission slip, which pretty much implied that he could go.

If the contract did not specify that it covers activities outside of school, I think it is an easy suit. If the contract does specify it, I think the contract can and should be found to be invalid on constitutional grounds. It is different if the student did something illegal - but this was not the case, and the fact that a threat was made while signing the permision slip does not make it enforceable, as that would be duress in my opinion, not enforceable under contract law.Ed Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-86308504834937802882009-05-12T18:40:00.000-05:002009-05-12T18:40:00.000-05:00The school may have a right to its own rules, but ...The school may have a right to its own rules, but legally, this school, particularly if it accepts school vouchers, has a responsibility to the student to allow him to graduate according to Ohio state law for compulsory education since he has fulfilled what he needs to do according to curriculum standards. If the principal was so into enforcing the rules, then he should not have signed the release that Tyler's girlfriend's school required to allow Tyler to attend the dance. Why'd he sign a release letting the kid go? Seems a little odd to me-seems like implied consent if you get right down to it.Diane O'Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08399625528026580634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-85584480357055444182009-05-12T14:31:00.000-05:002009-05-12T14:31:00.000-05:00Tyler made a choice.

I am, however, curious as to the language of the agreement that Tyler signed (in order to attend the school) and whether it could be interpreted to include prohibition of activites during the weekends at a facility not associated with Heritage Christian School. Either way, I applaud him for his very mature decision.<br /><br />P.S.

He must now pay the consequences. As much as I personally disagree with the school's teachings, they have a right to their own rules. Methinks Tyler should consider a state college in the future.
