Caregiver Authorization Affidavit

If an adult is caring for someone else’s child, a Caregiver’s Authorization Affidavit can be used to:
  • enroll that child in school
  • consent to medical care related to school
  • if the child is a relative, make medical care decisions outside of school also.

A Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit does not affect the rights of the child's parent or give the caregiver custody of the child. A parent may revoke the authorization of the Affidavit at any time.
