- State: North Dakota
Answer:
In North Dakota, children ages seven to sixteen must attend school. According to N.D.C.C. § 15.1-20-01, a person responsible for a child in this age range must ensure the child attends public school for the entire school year.
If a child is enrolled at age six, the responsible person must also ensure attendance for the school year. However, they can withdraw the child at this age, but once withdrawn, the child cannot be re-enrolled until the next school year, unless the withdrawal is due to relocating to another school district.
This requirement does not apply if the child is exempt under section 15.1-20-02.
