Current Narrative:
Mandatory school attendance is required for individuals between the age of five and 17. The statute requires enrollment in an approved school including private, public, parochial or home school that meets the requirements for legal operation. The individual must attend school each day the school is open unless:
- The child has received a high school diploma or its equivalent,
- A child 16 years of age or older who is enrolled in a post–secondary vocational–technical institution, a community college, or two–year or four–year institution of higher education, or
- Any child 16 years of age or older who is enrolled in an adult education program.
A specific definition for “not attending school” is not available other than an individual who does not comply with the above.
