Possible Driver’s License / Privilege Suspension
Florida Statutes §§ 1003.26 and 1003.27 require schools to report students who accumulate excessive unexcused absences.
15 unexcused absences within a 90-day period may result in suspension of a driver’s license or driving privilege.
To regain eligibility, the student must maintain 30 consecutive calendar days without an unexcused absence and satisfy all state requirements.
