Question: If you have missed more than 10 days of school, are you legally required to go for no credit?

Answer: The law does not address a specific situation such as yours. In this instance, the school district would have jurisdiction over the decision of whether to give credit for completing a class in light of absences. You might want to address this to your school's principal or Superintendent.

See the LawForKids.org section on Truancy for information about school absences.
