Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Legality of keeping child home from public school

It is perfectly legal to keep your child home from school if he or she needs a break. I think you just need to write a note or make a call, right?

If you decide to keep him home long-term, the only thing you need to do in CT is write a letter of withdrawal to your school's principal (sent return receipt requested). You don't need permission. You don't need to give a reason.

Chin up!
