Hello:
School districts can be liable if they are aware of a bullying/harassment situation and ignore it, which causes harm to the student. However, the inquiry is totally fact specific as far as what they knew, what they did, harm, etc.
You are not entitled to reimbursement for home schooling. Home schoolers pay taxes for schools, even though their kids don't attend. However, the District should not be getting any additional funding, e.g. for daily attendance, if your children are not enrolled.
Best of luck.
