In defense of the WC

Which is kind of weird, because the Knight is at least partly a hitman. Surely the Queens would expect Knights who don't bring magic of their own to rely on Winter ice magic in the course of carrying out certain kill orders.
Would someone like Slate be subject to execution for doing his Winter job if the Wardens got their hands on him?

I think it's a question of mortal magic -- which is subject to the White Council's laws of magic -- vs the powers of the WK Mantle. Slate -- and similar WK's -- can't break the White Council's laws.
It's could be tough -- depending on the effect Harry employs -- for the Council to be clear whether Harry was using Mantle or genuine Magic.

Yeah, since Slate wasn't a wizard, he never was subject to White Council Laws.

It's specifically the castle, I think, that becomes problematic for the Council.
Bastion of the Winter Knight, staffed by Winter-aligned Fae ... Basically (from the outside) it looks an awful lot like "this is a part of Winter."
I don't think they know enough to be clear where the lines are. We have a unique perspective. I'm sure there are WC secrets we don't yet know, but we have more insight into Winter (& Mab) than any living White-Council wizard except Rashid... who isn't likely to help them.

As per my own theory, I think the Paranet will be taking "lead" on the school. And I think the overwhelming majority of students will be "minor talents" like the Ordo Lebes were.
They may even make a show of directing some borderline cases to the White Council, and maybe get a "White Council Approved" curriculum around teaching the Laws.
Elaine certainly knows how to contact Carlos!
But if they "hide in plain sight" that way, the WC will probably ignore such a school indefinitely... very much unlike a school run by Headmaster Harry.
