You will find information about this at:http://www.nwls.org/emancipation_of_minors.htm

In Pennsylvania children are required to attend school until the age of 17. One exception to this is if a student has reached age 16 and is employed during the time the public schools are in session. In that case, he/she is not required to attend school. The student must hold "an employment certificate" which is usually issued by the school district.

Please note anyone responsible for the minor from parents to guardians can be penalized if the minor is not attending school. This can occur until they can prove they do not have 'control or charge' over the minor. This can be decided by the school district.
