Thanks for responding.

It's not the school who is concerned, but just something that was a concern to the parent. She won't be in the US so she wants someone to be able to make emergency decisions.

She wasn't sure whether or not she has to register anything with the state or government or if an signed agreement between two parties was enough. From what you've said, if the school is willing to accept an agreement between the two for medical power of attorney, then things should be OK? Is this something that hospitals and state agencies will honor as well?

Thanks again.
