KLS Family Handbook: Withdrawal from School

Quoted below is section 2.4 "Withdrawal from School" from the "Khan Lab School Family Handbook 2016-17" dated September 2016.


2.4 Withdrawal from School

The enrollment contract with the school is a binding agreement for the school year it encompasses. The Head of School will only release a family from this contract under the following conditions:

Relocation:
A family scheduled to permanently relocate more than 50 miles from its current residence will be eligible for the complete release of all contractual obligations following cancellation. All cancellations must be in writing, and a 30- day advance notice is required. The deposit will be refunded if cancellation is made before the first day of school. However, the enrollment fee is non-refundable.

Diagnosed Medical or Learning Disabilities
Students for whom documentation is presented from a recognized professional in the field of medicine or learning disorders substantiating the student's inability to follow the school's program of studies will, at the discretion of the Head of School and Senior Leadership Team, be eligible for the following:

  • Prior to the first day of school: Release from contractual obligations other than the enrollment fee;
  • During the school year: A release from contractual obligations other than the enrollment fee and tuition for the period of attendance.

    2.4.1 Records Transfer

    Student records are released directly to a new school. To transfer records from a previous school, please fill out the Request for Cumulative Health and Confidential Records. KLS will submit the request to your previous school.
