As an alternative, the other parent may seek to obtain legal custody through the courts. If he/she does, the child may be admitted tuition-free, for up to sixty days pursuant to O.R.C. 3313.64(E). For the District to consider a sixty-day provisional enrollment, the adult must provide evidence of application for legal proceedings or a notarized sworn statement that the adult is seeking custody of the child through the court system.
