Answer:
There are a couple of things that you may need to state in your relative caregiver affidavit. You need to state child's name and date of birth. You also need to state your name and date of birth, and the address where you live with the minor child. The school can ask what your relationship is with the child. You need to provide the school with your Oregon driver license or identification card number. The contact information of the legal parent or guardian of the minor child also needs to be provided, so you need to give your friend’s address in this case. The relevant statute is ORS § 109.580, which reads: “A relative caregiver affidavit given to a health care provider or school is invalid unless it is signed and contains, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) The name of the minor child;
(2) The minor child's date of birth;
(3) The relative caregiver's name and date of birth and the address at which the relative caregiver lives with the minor child;
(4) The relationship of the relative caregiver to the minor child;
(5) The Oregon driver license or identification card number of the relative caregiver;
(6) The contact information of the legal parent or guardian;
(7) A description of any attempts that the relative caregiver has made to advise the legal parent or guardian of the relative caregiver's intent to consent to medical treatment or educational services for the minor child, and of any response to the relative caregiver provided by the legal parent or guardian;
(8) If applicable, the reason why the relative caregiver is unable to contact the legal parent or guardian to advise the legal parent or guardian of the relative caregiver's intent to consent to medical treatment or educational services for the minor child;
(9) The date the relative caregiver signed the affidavit; and
(10) A declaration under penalty of perjury that the named minor child lives with the relative caregiver, that the relative caregiver is a competent adult and 18 years of age or older and that the information provided in the affidavit is true and correct.”
