We took in a DNi for awhile so she could finish school when DB moved out of the area. You need to also check school requirements. Districts in our area are sometimes very strict about what constitutes being able to go to their schools.
In some students can not be "part time" residents in some areas, they can't go home to parents on weekends or they can't go to school (they have stories on the detectives the districts hire to check these kids out). Some districts will only take the student if the person they are living with is appointed guardian of the child.
Check with the district to see if they have any specific requirements before you decide.
Otherwise if you can do it that is really great of you to offer to your relative.
guardianship was the issue with some of the districts near where we lived.
when an adult went to register the kid they had to bring in the birth certificate. if the bc listed the parent as the person registering the kid then the district required proof of residency for the adult (utility bill in adult's name for the reported address, rental agreement...). if the adult's name did'nt match as the parent then the district required proof of guardianship cuz only a legal guardian (or if placed through social services verification from them) could enroll a kid.
