Editor’s Note: Section 25.0951, E.C., provides that if a student fails to attend school without an excuse on 10 or more days or parts of days

within a six-month period in the same school year, a school district shall, within 10 school days of the student’s last absence (i.e., the 10th

absence), file a complaint against the student, the student’s parent, or both in the appropriate court alleging an offense under Section 25.093

or 25.094, E.C.

Section 25.085, E.C., allows a board of trustees of a school district to adopt a policy requiring a student who voluntarily enrolls in school or

attends school after his or her 18th birthday to attend school until the end of the school year. Parents, however, are exempt from sanctions,

such as “Parent Contributing to Nonattendance,” under these rules.
