Looks like, at d’s school anyway, you don’t count them in the household unless you claim them on your taxes.



That is not consistent with federal guidelines, and I would argue that if I had a child at this school & supported someone I didn’t claim on my taxes (for example, if I was divorced & had an agreement with my ex allowing him to claim the child even though she lived in my home).
