If they are allowed to drop out, can they move out and if so am I responsible for them until 18 years old?
They both want to be in school in person, but she will not allow it due to unreasonable fears and mental health issues. What are their rights? Can the school district intervene?
answered on Nov 17, 2023
It is unlikely that the school district can intervene as long as the parent has properly filed to homeschool the children and is complying with the OAC regulations concerning testing and reporting.

There is little you can do about this now, unless there is something in the IEP or a PBIP that states they should immediately call you. You can advise the school in writing that your child is not to be questioned as to alleged violations of the code of conduct without your presence (Which will... View More

I have an 18 year old grand daughter who left her home willingly because of abuse. She is currently living with an aunt and uncle. And they are having a problem enrolling her into their school district.
answered on Aug 10, 2023
If the student has not graduated from high school then they are still technically in the custody of a parent for school purposes and that must be transferred to the aunt and uncle.
My daughter was bullied into confessing to something she didn’t do and the cop tried to bully me into thinking she had no right to ask for me or any other help. He told me I was wrong to tell her that she didn’t have to say anything until I showed up.

BECAUSE
2. They do have the right to question your daughter without informing you in advance and without you present

The law does not require the schools to allow any particular person to volunteer and there are literally hundreds of reasons from the mundane (we have enough help) to the quite serious (this individual set fire to the building last time they were here) that someone might be turned away.

US birth certificate. Isn't this city overreach and illegal to use taxpayer money on children (or the children of parents who are here illegally) who are not born in this country and do not speak English (putting other children behind) and do not have legal status?

Would you rather they don’t have a safe place to go and get an education? They’re here and I’d you force desperate people out into the streets or will certainly cause more desperation and crime.

The statute is pretty clear. I'm not sure what your asking. I suggest rephrasing to address the ultimate issue you are trying to figure out. Restoration of rights? Firearm issues? Voting? etc.

The definition of convict in R.C. 2967 is any person convicted of an Ohio felony whether or not they went to prison but not including people who were pardoned or have finished serving their sentence.

If you were not married to the mother, then the mother had sole legal custody and parental rights. Those parental rights did not automatically transfer to you when she died. It often is not sufficient that your name is on the birth certificate, as you found with the school. If a court has not... View More

Yes, but while you are still in Highschool and living at home, your parents are responsible for your reasonable care, accommodation, and feeding. If you move out, you will relieve them of those responsibilities and they won't have to take you back if it turns out you can't cut it on your own.
