Can they keep my brother from attending school?
My brother whonis now going into 7th grade used
to go to catholic school, it got too expensive and we can't afford it so we took him out and placed him in public. The catholic school won't release his academic records and we can't afford the catholic school we owe them 1000s of dollars. So can they keep him from attending school??!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
There's no legal or other reason for them to withhold his academic records. They should have been sent automatically to any school he chooses to attend regardless of financial issues.
It's up to the current school to obtain his student record. It may take a while but they are supposed to be able to acquire it and may have already without any input or work on your part to do so.
If they refuse to release it have the school handle it for you. After that see a lawyer who can write a threatening letter about legal action that can be taken to the other school as the law says your brother has a right to an education no matter what and where he goes.
Mind you, they may try and get a lawyer to come back at you for the money owed but they have no right at all to hold up his records or delay his entry into another school. Seek legal advice.
