I-20 cancellation on M1 visa for flight training

Hi Guys,

OK here we go. I am new on this forum.
We have an issue with flight schools in the USA regarding I-20/M1 visa. Two flight schools, two opinions/interpretations.
I am inbetween them and need a verifyable document/reference about the official view of the US authorities.
I support a foreign student for his flight training and recently we changed to an other flight school.
The new school can not issue an I20, the old school will cancel the I20 that they supplied us with during our visa request about half year ago. We got an M1 visa. TSA approval is OK. Visa status is at doubt.
New school says; I20 not required, continue training with us.
Old school says; I20 cancelled, so leave the country within 15 days.
I need HELP SOON to figure this out.
1) Does the cancellation of the I-20 has yes/no consequences for the student?
2) Can the student stay at the new school, with a cancelled I-20, but with his present valid and correct visa?
3) Does the student risk deportation if we continue at the new school?

4) Is he in any way in a illegal status right now or if he continues to stay in the USA with a cancelled I-20?

Thanks.
