Session variable help

I'm having a very troubling issue. Maybe I'm just looking over something but I have looked at the code for several hours now, making small adjustments here and there to try to fix this problem. Basically what I am doing is trying to POST the values of this form into my next php file which then records it to a database and mails it to me. I am validating the information submitted on the form in my php executing file. The problem occurs whenever a person does not completely fill out the form and causes it to send back the error messages. My code refills the textboxes and dropdown boxes with the previously information but when it comes to checkboxes it does not at the moment. I took this functionality out for the time being because I found out that when the form is resubmitted the checkboxes are no longer even POSTing the correct values anymore when checked. I have a little test at the bottom of my form to show me the values that my php exec file is sending back (located in the echo $c $obj part) All future submissions after the person submits the form the first time with errors will result in the checkboxes POSTing no value at all even if they are checked. I can't figure out where the value is getting lost...
Code: ###### student-registration.php ######

function disChange() {

document.getElementById('hidDiagnostic').style.display = "block";
}else {
document.getElementById('hidDiagnostic').style.display = "none";
}
}
function lookup(inputString) {
if(inputString.length == 0) {
$('#schoolSystems').hide();
} else {
$.post("schoolsystemlookup-exec.php", {ss: ""+inputString+""}, function(data){
if(data.length >0) {
$('#schoolSystems').show();
$('#schoolSystemsList').html(data);
