Answer:
When you provide a relative caregiver affidavit to the school, you may need to include the following information:
- The child's name and date of birth.
- Your name, date of birth, and your address where you live with the child.
- Your relationship to the child.
- Your Oregon driver license or identification card number.
- The contact information of the child's legal parent or guardian, which in this case would be your friend’s address.
- A description of any attempts you made to inform the legal parent or guardian about your intent to consent to medical treatment or educational services for the child, along with any responses you received.
- If applicable, the reason why you couldn't contact the legal parent or guardian.
- The date you signed the affidavit.
- A declaration under penalty of perjury stating that the child lives with you, that you are a competent adult aged eighteen or older, and that the information in the affidavit is true and correct.
This information is necessary for the affidavit to be valid under Oregon law (ORS § 109.580).
