[quote=Anonymous]How do you have the child sign the FERPA waiver? Where do you find this?

But, I'm also not sure why the schools can't communicate with the parents about their plans w/o a signed FERPA waiver. This is general information about the school, not specific information about the students.[/quote]

Do you mean, can the colleges answer questions from anyone who calls about what their current policy is? They can, if they chose to. Had you called and asked, and they told you it was a secret, except for enrolled students only?

Or do you mean, will they email me about what is available to the adult that is enrolled in the program? No, just like your job would not automatically email your parents or your husband about a change in the workplace policy.

Again, if they are incapable of managing their own affairs, you need legal guardianship, and the question is moot. If they need help, then you can offer that -- but they can refuse. Because they are no longer legally minors. You are also able to put restrictions on how long and how much you will pay, and how much information you require from the young person to keep paying. But that is between you and the young adult, not the university.[/quote]
