Generally speaking, laws around public education are state laws. The Federal government (under the auspices of the Department of Education) often issues what are called "mandates", which are really laws - the No Child Left Behind act passed by Congress was such a mandate. Mandates aren't binding on the states, in the sense that they aren't legally required to be followed. However, what happens is that Congress ties funding to following these mandates, so if a state chooses not to follow the mandate, they don't get money (which, is often such a large sum that a state literally cannot afford to say no).

Back on topic: truancy and mandated education laws are state laws, not federal ones.
