... and they talked to the boys. They even changed his schedule. But he still does not want to go. I am so stressed out. I don't want any legal stuff to happen. And to top it all off his dad left. Can I sign him out of school?

DO NOT GIVE IN . I repeat : do not give in.
First of all : why is he being bullied ?
If it is because of his lack of care for himself or because he is shy ? Then he must change : that's how high school works and it actually might be for the better if he started seeking ways to get himself integrated.
But do not get him out of that school. I have been bullied LOTS.
And I can tell you it DOES NOT LAST if the victim makes sure it doesn't happen. Of course THEY ARE IN THE WRONG but they'll never realise it.
Kids are often immature and there aren't 30 ways of dealing with them.
If I were you , I would show support towards my child without intervening directly.
The bullies will only tease him more if he "needs his mummy to save him" .
he got to toughen up. tell him to fight. This is the real world, not a fairytale. You have to show people they can't disrespect your personal space. if he becomes a coward... imagine what kind of "man" he'll turn out to be. What woman would be attracted to that? a real dad would raise a man right, women just can't do it easily
I am trying not to give in but he would not even shut the car door this morning. And he doesn't turn to me when he has a problem I am not saving him from anything. If you knew why he was getting bullied you would understand. It is not because he doesn't take care of himself and it is not because he is shy. It is something else but I rather not get into detail about it.
