I cannot update google play services as its linked to a deactivated account

Ok so a while back i graduated from highschool so the domain administraters who have control of the account deactivated it as im no longer a student with them. HOWEVER a bunch of apps, including google play services were last signed in under that highschool account. The probelm i have is that i have 2 permanent notifications about needing to update the play services and when i go to try and do that, i wont let me use a different account. It says that i must sign in with last account used because: "there has been a change to my account requiring me to sign in again" ITS DEACTIVATED THOUGH. Any help at all to fix this annoying issue would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Ps. I asked the administration at my old school if they could help my by reactivating my account so i could switch the account which was last signed in for the play services with my current day-to-day account, but they said the only way they could reactivate my account was to enroll me again in school. So thats a no go cause it would also show up on my acedemic record.

PPS. I have had this issue for close to 6 months and it has been grinding my gears ever since. Plz help
 
Welcome to Android Central! What if you completely remove all Google accounts from your phone, do a factory reset, and then start from scratch with your own Google account (one that isn't associated at all with the one through high school)?

The problem is that i cant even delete that old account, so if i had done the reset and deleted all my other accounts, it would be for nothing as the old account would probably now be the only account on my phone.

Also i can no longer use youtube or google services as theres an update within the playstore, and i cant access the playstore as i need to sign in with the last account used, which is the deactivated account.
 
If you're unable to remove that old account, and you do a factory reset, does it then ask you to enter the information for that Google account again before you can get to the Setup Wizard?
