Have you tried to see if the Small Claims Court would work? https://ag.state.il.us/consumers/smlclaims.html Get the cost of the Chromebook, some money for your time, and then donate the Chromebook to the school since its deadweight at this point. My guess is that no one from Dept. of ed will show up and you'll get a summary judgment.

Could it possibly be impossible to enter developer mode? If so, could it be possible to somehow flip the write protect bit "by hand"?
Every Chromebook model I've ever had has had a physical switch or screw that can be removed/toggled somewhere on the motherboard to unset the write-protect bit. e.g. https://joshuawoehlke.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dell-31...
Powerwash/factory reset it and don’t sign into the school account. Ask for the school to provide a device.

You logged in with a managed account and the policy was applied again? The account is his school account right? That’s pretty much how Chrome OS works. This might just be a good lesson that you want to maintain device / role boundaries.

A gaping security hole is fine if it’s been introduced on purpose?
What is that?

I’m not super familiar with ChromeOS’s MDM stuff… but I wonder what would happen if someone were to log in to two separate managed accounts, for two separate organizations, with conflicting requirements?
