Depends on the schools attitude. If the parents of your grandchildren are around, there is a power of attorney that they can sign under Ohio law that would allow you to enroll the children into school. This would be legal and therefore the school would have to accept them into school. You can also see if the school would allow probationary enrollment for a short time once you get the case filed with the court system.

Unfortunately, I see this was question was posted 11 months ago, so it is likely a moot point by now. I hope it all worked out for you.
