As you may recall, I suggested that you add a provision in your child's power of attorney for property that permits you (the agent) to represent your child in all matters relating to your child's education. This article will look at a standalone power of attorney form for education.
You should ask your child's school staff if they have a power of attorney for education form.
Once your child is considered an adult in your state, your child can sign a power of attorney for education. Below is a power of attorney for education that the high schools near me in Illinois use.
In the form below, the adult child checks on the far left the section that reads, “I have received this form and have chosen to delegate my rights to the individual listed below.” And then, the student and parent fill in that section and sign their names.
