re: Are local private schools giving a partial refund on tuition?

The private schools will probably fight it but I imagine there will be lawsuits everywhere. The lawyers are going to love this.
And honestly I'm with the parents on this one. Online schooling is not the same as in person instruction. If I was paying $10,000-$15,000 a year to send a kid to a private school during this I would either want a $3,000-$4,000 refund or in the very least a $3,000-$4,000 credit towards the next school year if my kid wasn't a senior.

Most people who are paying that kind of coin to send their kids to school aren’t too concerned about a partial refund imo

Why is the default thought always litigation. I understand not everyone can absorb the loss if they are not working themselves and have compromised income. But if you can get by for a month or two you need to see the big picture. Think first of your children and not just for this year.
You have them at this school for a reason and you believe they will be in a better situation than a public school. In this crisis that public school will continue to receive funding from the state.
The private school has no such fall back and their costs will continue including mortgage or rent, insurance , faculty salaries and other operational expenses. Sure, they might be able to suspend salaries if not contractually obligated but that would be a good way to lose those teachers you and your kids love.
So don't be short sighted and consider the long game before you start making demands for tuition refunds or worse litigating your child's school. Even if your budget is tight most people can cut some discretionary spending and make it work. If you put your kids first you will make the right choice.
