For the purposes of this policy, person acting as a parent means a guardian or conservator, a person liable by law to care or support the child, a person who has actual care and control of the child and provides a major portion of support or a person who has actual care for and control of the child with written consent of a person who has legal custody of the child (See JQKA).
