I'd still keep that state school open until May 1
I rarely disagree with anything Ohio2015Parent says, but I would keep that state school open all the way until September. This means pay the deposit to the state school on May 1, so that you have somewhere to turn in the event that your DS breaks his leg during the summer.
This may not be fair dealings with the state school, but if you truly can't afford the other school without a scholarship and your DS is DoDMERB DQ'd during the summer, you have no backup plan, and your DS will sit on the couch for at least one semester.
I am certain that some folks don't agree with this approach and view it as dirty pool. However, I'm a bit over-hyper about not having backup plans in place.
