Today’s public schools have DYFS on speed dial.  DYFS knows that they can depend on the school to drop the dime on you at all times.  Its one of the reasons that I believe that DYFS has a big problem with homeschooling your child.  If you home school your child, there is no one to call DYFS on you.  Another reason that DYFS loves schools is that it gives them unfettered access to your child.  They can interview your child at just about anytime without any prior notice to you.

Because of this, I’ve actually had to suggest that some client’s keep their child out of school for a few days.  That is because the answer to the above question is yes, they can and they often do.  You need to keep this in mind when you are dealing with a DYFS case.  Of course, you shouldn’t take any action without first consulting with a lawyer.
