[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 44622"] ROE, the laws vary by state. Here, they have a mediation meeting first with a person from juvie court, the school and the parent - not the kid. I don't know for sure what happens after that point, other than it gets sent to juvie court. The school is obligated by law to report to the court after so many unexcused absences. If they don't, then they can get in trouble. My difficult child has missed A LOT of school this year, but she has doctor excuses for most of them. Parents are only allowed to excuse (by note) 10 absences a semester. After 10, it is considered unexcused without a doctor's note even if the parents send in a note. I would continue to call the school when he is out. Most schools require this as a safety issue. If the child is not at school, they need to make sure the parent knows. So, here at least, they will call the parents and the emergency contacts until they get ahold of someone to find out where the child is. Again, this is how it works where I live.
