Education decision making covers the major decisions about a child's schooling including which school the child attends, what educational services the child receives, tutoring, significant academic decisions, special education evaluations, and major testing choices.

When parents share joint legal decision making both parents must agree on educational decisions or follow the tie-breaking process in the parenting plan. When one parent has final decision making authority on education that parent makes the call after the required consultation.

The school enrollment decision flows from legal decision making authority and parenting time allocation. Confirming which school the child will attend and which parent's address governs enrollment is essential to prevent disputes at the start of every school year. Address it specifically in the parenting plan.
