I would talk to the school district in Ohio and see what they want.

Each school district has different policies.

To take the child to a doctor, I used a medical power of attorney for my babysitter. Thankfully it was never used.

Again, see what a doctor in Ohio wants in order to treat her.

If it's an emergency (life and death) I believe that an emergency room will treat her before worrying about who is responsible.

Of course, most doctors and emergency rooms mainly want proof of medical insurance in order to treat someone.

I don't know Ohio law. In Texas a 17 yr. old is an adult for criminal purposes.
