When couples disagree on fighting institutional harm versus protecting their own child

My partner and I discovered that our 8-year-old's school has been using restraint procedures on kids with disabilities without proper notification to parents, and we're torn between protecting our own child by moving schools versus staying to fight for systemic change that could help all the kids. We keep going in circles about whether we're being naive idealists or if pulling out makes us part of the problem.
