Release of Liability, Medical Authorization, and Indemnification

In consideration for my child(ren) being permitted to participate in Classical Studies of Indianapolis (CSIndy) activities, I, on behalf of myself, my child(ren), and our heirs, acknowledge and agree to the following provisions:

1. Release of Liability: I understand that participation in CSIndy activities—including but not limited to classroom instruction, science labs, physical activity, and off-campus field trips—involves inherent risks. I hereby release and agree to hold harmless CSIndy, its Board of Directors, staff, instructors, and volunteers from any and all liability, claims, or demands for personal injury, sickness, death, or property damage arising from or related to my child(ren)'s participation, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by CSIndy.
2. Medical Authorization: I grant CSIndy staff and volunteers permission to authorize emergency medical, dental, or surgical treatment for my child(ren) in my absence, should an injury or illness occur that requires immediate medical attention. I agree to be financially responsible for all costs associated with such medical care.
3. Indemnification: I agree to indemnify and hold harmless CSIndy from any and all claims or liabilities brought by any person or entity as a result of my child(ren)'s actions, negligence, or willful misconduct.

Program Sustainability

CSIndy is committed to providing a complete academic year and being a responsible steward of the tuition revenue provided by our families. Our budget is set annually based on projected enrollment and known operational costs. As a tuition-dependent organization, our ability to operate is vulnerable to significant, unforeseen financial events.

By signing this agreement, you acknowledge and agree to the following provisions, which are necessary to protect the financial viability of the organization for all members:

1. Right to Cancel or Modify (Due to Low Enrollment): CSIndy reserves the right to cancel, modify, or combine any class, elective, or program that does not meet the minimum enrollment required to be financially viable and secure staffing.
   • In the event a specific class is canceled by CSIndy, any fees paid for that specific class will be refunded.
   • In the unlikely event that total program enrollment or tuition revenue falls below the minimum level required to sustain operations, the Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the academic program mid-year. Should this occur, families will receive a minimum of 30 days' notice. All tuition obligations will cease as of the termination date, and any tuition prepaid for services after this date will be refunded on a pro-rata basis.
2. Emergency Special Assessments (Shared Community Responsibility) CSIndy operates on a fixed annual budget based on known costs. However, we acknowledge that extraordinary events (such as new federal safety mandates or emergency facility repairs) may occasionally necessitate unbudgeted expenses.

In these rare instances, the Board of Directors reserves the right to levy a mandatory special assessment to all registered families.

• 
  Notice: Families will receive a minimum of 30 days' notice before funds are due.
  
• 
  Consequence of Non-Payment: Participation in the special assessment is a condition of continued enrollment. If a family is unable to contribute their share, CSIndy reserves the right to pause or terminate the student’s attendance.
  
• 
  Tuition Obligation: Please understand that our annual budget relies on the tuition commitments made at registration. Therefore, an administrative withdrawal or dismissal resulting from the non-payment of a special assessment does not release the family from their obligation to pay the full annual tuition balance. The original financial agreement remains in full force.
  

Academic and Curricular Authority

As a classical and Christ-centered program, CSIndy partners with parents in the education of their children. While this partnership involves open communication, CSIndy, through its Board of Directors, Executive Director and faculty, retains final and sole authority over the selection and approval of all academic curriculum, educational resources, and extracurricular content (including, but not limited to, book lists, guest speakers, and drama club performance selections).

All selections are made in a manner that the Board, in its discretion, believes serves the mission, vision, and Statement of Faith of the school. A parent's personal or theological disagreement with a specific, non-doctrinal resource or selection is not grounds for a grievance or arbitration.

Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

CSIndy is committed to resolving disagreements in a Biblical and restorative manner. In the interest of resolving all disputes outside of the civil court system, both the family and CSIndy agree to be bound exclusively by the following process:

1. Internal Grievance: The parties will first make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute internally, following the grievance procedures outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook.
2. Mandatory Christian Mediation: If the dispute cannot be resolved internally, all parties agree to submit the claim to non-binding mediation with a mutually acceptable Christian mediator or service. The parties will share the cost of the mediator equally. This step is a mandatory prerequisite to arbitration.
3. Mandatory Binding Arbitration: If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the mediation, the dispute shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties, and a judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
4. Matters Not Subject to Arbitration: Notwithstanding the sections above, the parties agree that the following matters are expressly excluded from the grievance, mediation, and arbitration process. These matters are within the sole and final discretion of the CSIndy Board of Directors and are not subject to challenge:
   • All decisions related to academic and curricular content, as defined in the Academic and Curricular Authority clause.
   • The adoption or modification of the school's budget, tuition, and fees.
   • The decision to not renew a family's enrollment for a subsequent academic year.
   • Any operational decisions regarding class schedules, school calendar, or facility use.

General Provisions and Amendments

1. Policy Amendments (Handbook): I acknowledge that the Parent/Student Handbook and other operational policies are living documents, subject to review and amendment by the CSIndy Board as needed to ensure the safe and effective operation of the school. I agree to be bound by the most current version of these policies as communicated during the school year.

This right to amend applies to operational policies (e.g., dress code, schedules, health protocols) and does not grant the Board the right to alter the base tuition amount mid-year, which is governed by the "Special Assessments" clause.

2. Severability: If any portion of this agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

CSIndy believes that a positive and Christ-honoring partnership between the school and parents is essential for our community's health and our students' success. As a condition of my child(ren)'s enrollment, I agree to:

1. Model respect and civility in all communications (verbal, written, and electronic) with CSIndy staff, instructors, board members, and other families.
2. Adhere to the conflict resolution process outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook, beginning with direct, private communication (Matthew 18:15) before escalating a concern.
3. Refrain from disruptive, harassing, or slanderous behavior that undermines the school's mission, creates a hostile environment, or harms the community.
4. Partner with the school by abiding by all policies regarding campus safety, student drop-off/pick-up, and volunteer requirements.

I understand that CSIndy reserves the right to terminate this enrollment agreement and require the withdrawal of my child(ren) if my (or my family's) behavior is found to be in serious or repeated violation of this Code of Conduct.

8. Photo Disclaimer

Students cannot opt out of group photos.

Your child's name(s) will not be visible in any photos. (1 required) I understand and agree.
