The mafia simply does not care what logistic problems a move out of Locke would cause a numbered. Jobless? School? Have kids or old parents that you are the caretaker of? Just bought a house? Run a company? Sentient tree located in the city park and literally rooted to the ground? They don't care, they don't want numbered in the city no matter what their circumstances are.
There is of course the option to pretend to be gone and just hide, or to pretend to leave for good and not plan on actually doing it, or to just stay and toughen it out/take the risk...
[for the following keep in mind that neither of the head mods is American and we might be missing US-specific difficulties of transferring in this answer] Locke schools/colleges/etc won't be sad to see numbered students go and make it easy on them, and the same goes for Locke's administration: If the student nominally transfers to a school in the Las Vegas echo boundaries or switches to "being homeschooled" they'll easily give them a leave.
The Las Vegas schools in the echo area are closed until the situation is straightened out one way or the other, but they will accept students transferring to them.
