It could be that dad and kids go to grandparents' house every morning from their home outside of TV, get the golf cart, have kids wait for bus (which is probably not for any of the charter schools, but a Lake County school --The Villages Elementary School on Rolling Acres has good rep) and then dad goes to work.
The reality may be the parents are trying to circumvent their local school district and get theirs kids into what they feel is a better school by using the grandparents' address. Happens all over the country.
The only way you're going to know for sure is to follow dad home, be there when school gets out, talk to neighbors and find out if kids are actually living in TV. Then you can report them if it bothers you that much.
It is hard to hide kids here. I was once reported for having my grandson here for four days while my daughter went away for the weekend. Community Watch dropped by and asked how long he would be staying with me. My home was watched a lot for the next few months to make sure it was truly only a visit.
