Kernrechtsfrage
Whether missing a third-grade ski camp constitutes an punishable school absence under § 24 VSG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A punishable school absence exists only when a pupil stays away from mandatory or voluntarily chosen instruction; the ski camp was not part of compulsory school instruction.
Extrahierte Begründung
The statutory scheme protects attendance at instruction; a multi-day ski camp is not shown to be mandatory schooling, and no legal basis existed to treat it as such.
