Include in School Age Licensed Capacity
This feature has to do with calculating licensed capacities. Some state regulations define a limit on "school age children" and define a school ager by their enrollment in school rather than their calendar age.
For example, it is possible that a 5 year old child could count in the preschool licensed capacity because they are not enrolled in school whereas another 5 year old child counts in the school age capacity because they are enrolled in school. My Food Program doesn't know where to count the child unless the provider or center tells us.
Designating an age range or license type as "school age" will cause this box to appear. If there are no age ranges or license types designated as school age, then providers and centers will not see this box on the participant page.
