Setup Center > Settings > Household Fields can be used by the AdminPlus Supervisor to select Student Demographic fields that should be the same for all students in the household. Fields can also be mapped to Contact Global fields so all members of the same household have the same values.
Schools that share Households must maintain the same edit setting for Enrollment, Demographics, and Contacts.
