What Is Your State's Definition Of School Age?

[Wubby]

I don't know for sure, but I kinda think it reads "under 6" in our regulations for Oregon. I don't think the term "school-age" is even used. But basically, they're kind of defining "school-age" as the child's 6th birthday.

We can have 10 total. OF those 10, we can only have:

6 under 6
2 under 2

(or all 10 can be 6 and older if you want, but the ages above are restricted to those amounts.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've always been under the impression that it read. I've never been in a situation where the numbers mattered, so I haven't paid much attention.

That's what I always thought (19 yrs), but I asked my lunch lady (usda) and she said the day after, the last day of kinder, regardless of age, they become school-age. I have a 5yr old that did kinder in 2 months and they advanced him to first.

Ok, but the difference is that she's USDA. I'm pretty sure their definition, for the purposes of food quantities and such, are different than our state's definition for the purposes of ratios and age limits.

Again, I could be wrong, but that's my understanding.

Country Kids will know!! She needs to chime in......

Oh she better be right. I went 8 months with him being a school-age. I asked her because I had called licensing 4 times and left messages with out a response.

I'm in Kentucky and, if I remember correctly, they don't count as school age until they start kindergarten.
