Private schools will allow advanced arrangements, like making up work, or homework in Leiu of attendance.  Public schools are not interested in expulsion, they threaten calling child protective services.  Not my district but see example attendance policy <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.escobedoms.com&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;Parent_Attendance_Guide.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.escobedoms.com&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;Parent_Attendance_Guide.pdf</a> from a quick google search.<p>Public schools literally consider too many absences a crime (&quot;truancy&quot;), partly because their funding is directly tied to number of days students are in class.  Private schools will charge you the same tuition regardless of how much vacation you take just like college.
