As a reminder, if you want to achieve anything with chools, this is how you do it. A polite letter, nonthreatening, filled with facts, and a cost to the school if they continue.

The threat of costs from the small claims court system is the only reason they achieved anything.

Probably not. School districts have lawyers on staff. It's not you or me who would have a new expense of $x/hour for a lawyer.
