Generally, you need to fill out the form that you can't make it ahead of time (like 2 weeks in advance). You should be excused from school though for jury duty. You are required by law to attend jury duty. There are consequences for ditching jury duty including fines and warrants and possible arrests. However, I know at least back in the day absolutely nothing happened if you didn't attend jury duty despite these threats. BUT, this was also back when computers weren't as widely used (my grandma threw all her jury duties in the trash). I wouldn't risk it if I were you. Just tell your teachers that you had jury duty; they cannot punish you. |
