Can my school do this?

I’ve missed a fair amount of school this year on account of being sick a lot. Id say about 20 days. I have notes from a doctor for all the days I missed. but a week ago the principal had a cop come to my home and talk to me. The cop said if I miss school they would take me to some kind of detention facility and I would have to go to school there. I would have to tell someone where I’m at at all times. I don’t get it I have doctors notes for everyday I missed so how can they do this? Right now I’m home sick because I was tested for lymes disease. The school called again saying I would get truencey if I didnt go tomorrow. So can they really do that if all my days have been excused by the doctor??

I dont think they can as long as you make up your work and stuff. Schools these days suck. They do what ever they want and when parents complain they hide behind “immunity” ..The freakin schools have immunity against things the same way the diplomats have diplomatic immunity from persecution on certain cases. It is a law. I hate administrators. I would get a lawyer and sue them for harrassment or at least call your local news station. Give them bad publicity because they deserve it.

You might try signing up for independent study.

I’d make an appointment with the principal with your parents there. Explain the situation and bring all of the doctors notes with you. Don’t try covering up the days you (may have) played hooky with legitimate medical excuses. If you played hooky 8 out of those 20 times, then fess up to it. It’s better to take the small punishment for that, than to have them not believe your legitimate excuses all.

Where I’m from public schooling isn’t very well so if you happen to wish a well schooling you ought to attend to a individual one. But this fairly is dependent, a few public colleges are very well and a few are very dangerous, simply as a few individual colleges are very well and others very dangerous.

I don’t think they can cause truency is the act of a student who stays away from school without permission. But u had excuses from a doctor. If they dont believe u then have them call ur doctors office or somethin like that
