Is it against the law for a parent to discharge his kids from school for one month to travel out of the country then come back to the same school.can the parent be prosecute even if the kids attended school while out of the country and has records to prove it…i live in texas by the way……
Dear Jose: It’s going to depend on the laws in that state. Try Googling “Texas compulsory attendance laws” for specific information. Although parents can face consequences for educational neglect and not getting their kids to school, it doesn’t sound like that would be likely in this case since the kids were traveling and continuing to attend school. It would be best to try to resolve the matter with the kids’ school/school district. A meeting with the principal or other school administrators may clear things up especially if records were provided. Good luck.
