Walk It Through: The Truancy Letter

A teenager skipping school, a letter home, the parent's fine by the day, and the school's steps first.

A sophomore stops going to school most mornings, and the school sends a letter home.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

Truancy from a public school. Suspensions and expulsions, special education plans and home schooling approval are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
