My aunt has to go to truancy court in a few weeks because her son failed to turn in all of the Dr's excuses when he missed school. Her son has health problems and the day before they have to go to court he is having a special test on his stomach. My aunt explained this to the school and the school knows he has health problems and is in special ed classes. She says she is going to court and bringing a letter from the Dr stating all of this? He has missed 7 days of school but he has never turned in any notes so they got my aunt for truancy. She has been crying because she doesn't have a whole lot of money for the fines. My wife told her to try homeschooling because of all of the health issues. Does the school really lose out on money when a child misses school? I understand some kids play hooky but not in this situation.

Be able to prove that the child has heath problems and the medical records were not submitted to the school. Otherwise, the Truancy Court will definitely decide meting the proper penalties.
