OP...whether you chose to contact school directly or read the schools policy manual and perhaps administrative forms requirements does NOT take a lawyer.
The question of if your child is allowed tuition free completion of his senior year is very likely addressed in existing policy and procedure of your local school corporation.
My technical point is that they are not by state mandated to provide it for a non resident parent but they MAY as a matter of local policy waive tuition in such fact patterns. ( But not for some other visa issues unrelated to your post ) I am merely suggesting you read the schools own policy manual before you ask questions ..you would be surprised at how many well paid administrators lack knowledge of what s in their own policy manual ...and. " sometimes " give inaccurate guidance .) You don't need a lawyer to do that basic homework ! ( if it's not already covered by policy that does not mean the school cannot vote to waive tuition if properly addressed )
It may be legally prudent to authorize in writing the host person to access the 17 year olds child's eduction records ...absent same , under FERPA , they could not help.
It may be prudent to have in place a limited power of attorney such that host person can act on basic needs including health care and setting of household rules as necessary or use of any car et al .
MIght be smart to have written agreement as to expense reimbursement to host
( but read the policy manual ...in some states they might require that the hosting arrangement be gratuitous , on paper anyway ...why invite " issues")
