Do you have to have parent permission to drop out of school in nys?

In New York State, students must be at least 17 years old to legally drop out of school, but they still need parental consent to do so. If a student is under 17, they cannot drop out without parental permission. Additionally, schools often have specific procedures that must be followed, which may include counseling sessions or meetings with school officials. It’s important for students to understand the implications of dropping out before making this decision.
