Two days after the family brought their concerns about bullying to the principal, the parents received a message informing them that all three siblings were being expelled.
A private school in Northern Virginia has agreed to compensate a Jewish family after a dispute over the expulsion of their three children, resolving a case that drew scrutiny from state authorities.
The Nysmith School for the Gifted will pay about $100,000 under a settlement reached with the Virginia Attorney General’s Office, following allegations that the children were removed shortly after reporting antisemitic bullying.
The matter began last July, months after the October 7 attacks, when the family informed school administrators that classmates had repeatedly targeted their daughter.
