However, his #1 choice is a private school that will not tell us if he has been accepted or if funding is available until after May 1st.

No reputable school does acceptance and FA notification after May 1, unless it’s a waitlist type situation. If your son has been waitlisted at his 1st choice private school, he needs to plan on attending somewhere else until a possible spot off the waitlist becomes available to him. If that happens, he can legally and ethically notify State School that he will be enrolling at a different school (he may lose any enrollment/housing deposit that State School requires).
