[quote=Anonymous]I’m hoping to get my dual US citizen nephew to come live with us for a year before the end of HS so he can improve his English. I am not at all concerned with the enrollment paperwork beyond ensuring that I have the necessary American documents executed for temporary guardianship. DCPS and I assume MCPS do not require you to do anything wrt citizenship due to the fact that schools are constitutionally forbidden from it.

If DCPS were not so laughably lax about collecting health forms and vax records, I might be slightly worried about finding a doctor who would fill out the forms in the absence of prior records or require some kind of parental consent that wasn’t possible. So hopefully you have a document from the parents giving you medical guardianship? If not, you could try contacting an immigrant organization like CASA MD to see what they recommend.

But honestly DCPS and MCPS likely deal with a lot of kids with even less paperwork. The key may be local school administrators not being uptight about it - in DCPS they never are but MCPS may be different. At the end of the day they are educators and they are not going to bar or kick a child out due lack of paperwork. The six months will have passed before anything gets even close to official.
