Is a 17 year old be under truancy law?

Yes, a 17-year-old can be subject to truancy laws, which require students to attend school regularly. Truancy laws vary by state or country, but typically, students are required to attend school until they reach a certain age, often between 16 and 18. If a 17-year-old is frequently absent without a valid excuse, they may face consequences under these laws, which can include school disciplinary actions or involvement from legal authorities.
