Truancy
Truancy generally refers to being absent without permission or good reason, especially from school. Precise policies vary by state law and local school district policies. Statutes may provide for the compulsory attendance of children in schools, prescribe the conditions for attendance at public schools, provide for the formulation of rules and regulations for the conduct of students, and the extent of disciplinary action that may be imposed on students.
