			 of the Revised Code, that a child of compulsory school age has been absent
			 without legitimate excuse from the school the child is supposed to attend for
			 more than ten consecutive school days or for at least fifteen total school
			 days, the superintendent shall notify the registrar of motor vehicles that the
