+1 my child has missed due to sickness and low immune system. A lady not sure who she was was trying to tell me I would be getting a $750.00 dollar fine for her missing school. I have doctor notes to proof what was wrong at all times she missed. When she gets sick it takes her longer than my boys to get better. So she would miss 3 days out of a week. Were not just talking cough cough achoo! She has high fevers. I threaten that this would be her last time going to public school. I will find someone to home school or get her in private school. Before I pay a dime to them for something that is excused. So now she tells me if she misses one more day of school with out a doctor I am getting the fine! The first day back this year she missed because of an allergic reaction. I walked into the school gave the principle a doctor slip and a picture of my daughter's face being swollen. I got a nasty response back, telling me the picture wasn't necessary. Told her I was just making sure. I'm not one of those moms who keep my child home for the he'll of it.
