Need advice about serious issues in a private boarding school (New York). We are new to the US and don’t know what to do

Thank you very much for your message and for understanding the situation.

Yes, you understood correctly: my main concern is that the school might intentionally hinder our transfer by providing a negative recommendation or by framing the situation in a way that harms my son. That is the only reason I have been trying to understand whether any of the actions that took place could be considered serious enough to protect us and prevent retaliation.

At this point, my goal is not revenge or conflict, but simply ensuring that my son can transfer safely without being damaged by the school’s actions or words.
