attendance laws

i live in the state of missouri and my 16 yr old daughter got into trouble last year because of truancy. she will be 17 this april and i am wondering if they can still force her to attend school.

Yes she can still get in trouble with the law no mater what age if shes still enrolled in the school, but it does depend on the school and if they do report it. Im 16 and have not officially dropped out of school for many different important reasons but have missed about 40 days of school this year and they havent done anything but I did get in trouble in the 8th grade for 8 unexcused abscenses and had to go to court.
