Unless you are under some type of court order to attend school, you can't be found in contempt of court for not doing so. As far as being able to back up any absences - the school does have the right to require you to produce a doctors certification.

The last is a chance for the party accused of contempt to correct whatever situation has caused the contempt to exist.
