Laws - View Law: TRUANCY |
(not being in school when you are supposed to be)
It is against the law for anyone between the ages of six and sixteen to not attend school. However, there are some exceptions through excused absences, home school, etc. Even if you miss just one class period without an excuse, you are considered truant.
If you miss school a lot (5 days, unexcused) you are considered to be habitually truant (ARS 15-803). An attendance officer can enforce this law. The officer can give you a ticket requiring you and a parent to appear before an official of the court. (ARS 15-805) If you are habitually truant you could be put on probation, have your driver’s license taken away, or have to attend counseling or educational classes. (ARS 8-323)

2 the one who asked about the driver's license. They can take ur learners permit, they can take ur parents drivers license, they can put u n jail. I think it is a good law. I went to a school, that i missed a minimum of 60 days a year, for the last 6 years i went. my senior year it was so hard for me not to skip school so i could graduate. I didn't graduate. I had to go back for a second senior year. I did graduate, I could have graduated my sophmore year, because of all the credits i had. I'm n college now. it's very hard to go everyday, it would've been much easier if i never missed h.s.
