Q: Is there a daytime curfew?

A: Yes. During any school day, all children between the ages of 6 and 17, inclusive (other than a child who has been expelled from school) shall not be in any place in the City of Garfield Heights between the hours of 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. except in attendance at school, unless that child has written proof from school authorities excusing him or her from attendance. The penalty for the child violating this law is a fourth degree misdemeanor. For the parent or guardian a first offense is a minor misdemeanor. For a second offense, it is a fourth degree misdemeanor, and a third or subsequent offense is a first degree misdemeanor. (Codified Ordinance Section 531.05)
