007.11 SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT.
Minors age 15 or younger who have not graduated from high school and who are dependent children or parents in an Aid to Dependent Children unit are required to attend school. Aid to Dependent Children benefits will be reduced $50 for each dependent child or minor parent who, without good cause, has accumulated a number of unexcused absences from school sufficient to jeopardize the student’s academic progress, and the Aid to Dependent Children specified relative or guardian or conservator in the unit has not taken reasonable steps to encourage the child to improve his or her attendance. The $50 sanction is imposed only on a specified relative or guardian or conservator who is in the unit. If a 16-year-old child is removed from the unit, the grant is reduced by the amount of one individual, but the $50 sanction is no longer imposed.
