At our school, it is 5 or 7. (I can't remember which one.) You must have a parent note. under certain circumstances, the absence is excused.
If you miss I think 5 UNEXCUSED then you could be brought to court for truancy, but if all attendances are EXCUSED then if you miss 18 days you could also be brought to court for truancy
The 14 year old can accompany their grandparent but you may want to let the school know about it. If they have not missed much school before, the truancy officer will not even think twice about it.
Any time you are supposed to be in school and are not without a legitimate excuse, you are truant.
The kid was involved in truancy. He stayed away from school without permission.
Truancy is the lack of attendance to a mandatory event, typically school. The student was truant from school yesterday. The truancy officer found the student behind the supermarket.
Truancy refers to a student's deliberate absence from school without a valid excuse. From an educational point of view, truancy can negatively impact a student's academic performance, social development, and overall success in school. It is a concern for educators as it can lead to missed learning opportunities and disengagement from the educational process.
Truancy Courts are to punish students enrolled in elementary through high school and if a student is 19 and still enrolled in high school, then the 19 year old student can be tried in Truancy Court.
Truant or truancy.
In many countries, truancy (from school) is called wagging, "jigging", ditching, or skipping school. Other slang terms are bunking (off), skiving, mitching, twagging, or on the knock.
A woman's children can be taken away for truancy if she is keeping them from going to school. Whether or not she can see them or talk to them would be up to the courts. Not all children are removed from the home for truancy.
The court may fine you a small amount.
Truancy laws and penalties were enforced.
