More details to this question:
I am a school teacher who is a chaperone on a school sponsored trip to Florida. I will be getting a subpeona to appear at a trial while we are on the trip. What happens if I don't appear?
1 ANSWER
A subpoena means you have to appear. If you don't, you will likely be held in contempt of court and can be arrested or put in jail for contempt. I recommend you sit down with your employer immediately and show them the subpoena. It is likely in your best interest to have the school find a replacement for the trip and for you to appear in court pursuant to the subpoena. Best of luck.
