FÙÊà㫛 Jçò›Ä®½› CÊçÙã J痦›Ý  The Dakota County Juvenile Court Judges understand the importance and necessity of a quality education for every child in Dakota County and are committed to ensuring that truancy does not interfere with that education. Truancy is a serious matter because of the long term consequences for the child, the family and the community. Students have a right to an education and an obligation to attend school. Parents have a responsibility to make sure that their children are in school to receive that education. The court will hold students and parents accountable for any failure to attend school. A child is considered a “habitual truant” if she or he is under the age of 16 and is absent at school without lawful excuse for seven school days or for one or more class period on seven school days. Children ages 16 and 17 will be considered truant if they have not lawfully withdrawn from school with their parent’s permission.

D®Ý›ƒÝ› Feeding closely congregated animals that would otherwise feed a part on natural foods, increase the odds of CWD and other diseases by eaƟng contaminated foods by other animals saliva. AçãÊ A‘‘®—›ÄãÝ Feeding draws deer away from natural feeding and into locaƟons where there is traffic causing deer vs auto accidents. Hƒ®ãƒã Ι CÙÊÖ LÊÝÝ Deer can retard forest regen- eraƟon, change plant species and cause crop depredaƟon. B›«ƒò®ÊÙ C«ƒÄ¦›Ý Feeding can make wild animals less fearful of humans, delay migraƟon and can result in starvaƟon. There is a CWD ban in effect since January 2017 in certain counƟes.
