[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what’s the consequences? They actually will arrest you if the kids is absent for more than 5 days?[/quote]

If absent for 10 consecutive days, your kid can be unenrolled from MCPS. Which means you'll have to go through all of the paperwork of reenrolling them again if that happens.

It also means if you don't reenroll them or enroll them either in homeschool or private school, you could get in trouble with the state and then yes, get arrested for child neglect.[/quote]

1. This is for unexcused absences.
2. The school PPW will work with families who are approaching this threshold to see what can be retroactively excused and to put in place a plan to avoid additional unexcused absences. In one case that involved connecting the mom with a diaper bank because the MS student was kept home whenever the baby sibling couldn’t go to daycare due to the family running out of diapers. 
3. Even if you are reported for child neglect due to truancy, CPS will investigate. If they find this constitutes neglect, a social worker is going to work with your family. 
4. Arrests of parents for truancy are exceedingly rare. They reflect cases in which parents refuse to use any of the strategies offered. Don’t be that parent.[/quote]

Cps isn’t getting involved.  Stop making dumb threats.  If mcps refuses to do basics to prevent colds, flu and Covid, the. Tuff.  I’m not sending a sick kid to school.  No one is arrested either.  [/quote]
