A: Because he is no longer a resident of the school district. If his formal address is with you, he must switch to your neighborhood school.

A: You have to speak to CPS to intervene. They will notify the school that this is a temporary placement while the neglect matter is in the courts. Once notified, the school has to keep your grandchild until there is a change in status or custody.
