2) is given detention
3) is expelled
4) receives a reward

Answer 1

A child who is habitually absent from school without justification under CHINS may face consequences such as warnings, detention, or expulsion, and not a reward. This is to address truancy and its negative effects.The correct options are 1) , 2) , 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Under CHINS (Child in Need of Supervision), a child who is habitually absent from school without justification may be found to need supervision by the courts. The consequences for habitual truancy do not typically include receiving a reward, but rather interventions such as warnings, detention, or in severe cases, such disciplinary actions as suspension or expulsion might be considered. This is because truancy is a violation of school policies and potentially legal requirements for attending school. Truancy can lead to several negative consequences, such as poor grades, dropping out, and difficulties in finding employment later on. Schools might implement various measures to address truancy, such as notifying parents immediately when a student is absent, as a way to improve attendance and deter truancy.
