If a minor is truant do they have to have alternative schooling?

Answer:
That would be decided when the student goes to court. It the truancy is an ongoing problem, then the court would be more likely to require alternative schooling. Usually, the student pays a fine, is placed on probation, and ordered to attend school. The probation officer would follow up to ensure that the student is attending regularly. If the student breaks his/her probation requirements, then further action would be taken by the court.
