I'm 17 and due to transportation problems and a medical emergency, I've been absent or late to school, a lot. I my own car now, so it won't be a problem next year 
I got a letter addressed to the general population of students who are excessively absent saying that I could fail because of the absenses but that the failing grade could be "appealed" with the attendance board" and if the parent "doesn't participate in the activites reqested(... by Sep. 15th [my guess when school starts for me again]) ... and the absenses are still an issue... legal action may be initiated without further notice".
So does it mean that if I don't see the attendence board my mom gets in trouble or does it mean by next school year if my absences from this year aren't accounted for I'll get in trouble, or what.
Here is the website for what i found about the legal req's. for school truancy for my county:

My real question is, since I'm 17 and the law only requires children 6-16 go to school, if I was absent will my mom still get in trouble legally.
sorry for the lengthy-ness.
thx :]
