Enforcement of Compulsory School Attendance

• Unless exempted from school attendance by state statute for certain circumstances, the School Attendance Law of 1963 requires that “every child who has attained the age of six years on or before August 1 of each year and is under the age of seventeen years, shall attend public school” for at least a number of hours specified by state statute during each school year. (C.R.S. 22-33-104)
