Local- Required to do attendance meetings for children who are at risk of

high number of absences
Ex: State polices in the school system require that children miss no more
than ten unexcused days.
If this requirement is failed, then the social worker by state law has a right to
take charges against the parent
Federal Level: Example we had to go to court with the parents of a young
man who miss forty two days of school. The judge ordered that the child
must not miss any more days for the remainder of the school year unless he
has a note, if failed to do so, the parents will be arrested
