Family Fights to Keep Kids in Maumee Schools | Toledo News

A Maumee, Ohio family is locked in a desperate battle to keep their four kids — including an autistic son reliant on special services — in their local school district, even as their home remains a construction zone and they’ve lived with relatives in Toledo for nearly three years. After an electrical fire destroyed their house in 2023, they initially stayed enrolled under the McKinney-Vento Act, which supports students experiencing housing instability. But this spring, the district revoked that status, citing their current residence outside district boundaries — despite their voting address, community ties, and uninhabitable home with no water meter. The family appealed through open enrollment, but the district denied all four children, citing capacity and boundary issues. As a lawsuit against the builders drags on, the family’s fight to keep their children in Maumee schools is now legally entangled — and growing more urgent with each passing day.
