No the principal won't pay. Low blood pressure could be life threatening. The child could have died. Parents must pay for their kid;s basic needs. Health care is a basic need.

If you want to pursue it consider small claims court. I assume the school district;s attorney will argue that the principal has no duty to pay. Plus under Texas law they are required to report all possible child abuse. A seriously ill child needs medical attention.

Hopefully your child is fine now.
