Call the truant officer. I do not say this lightly, but they should be in school, and if they don't go then to juvenile hall or whatever the local alternative.

Don't invite them into your home, unless you know what you are getting into.

Its OK to get mad about it, but in reality kids today do not have a cat in hell's chance to make it in this world, and most likely we will be in a third world war, or scavenging for food after the next huge bubble.  If it was me I would call the cops.
Mr_Numbers:
I would have to disagree with calling law enforcement as that usually is a distancing tool and I fail to see how it helps other than making the boys bitter at you.  Also, this would be counter intuitive if they've already FDA (failed due to absences) which sounds like a real possibility, why would they even care if it's literally impossible to pass? 
Howard_Casto:
There are very few school systems that I know of that will actually fail you due to absences.  If you try to work with them they'll find a way to keep the kids in school.
Generic Eric:
I dunno man.

It sounds like you've already went the extra mile.  I believe you care because you went to the extent to post here.  I think the only other thing you would be to charge them rent as opposed to a free stay.  The free stay offers them an opportunity to take advantage you.  While it feels good initially, it may invite their trouble to your door.

Tough spot to be in.

I couple of my nephews are knuckle heads, but not to that degree.  They were also dealt a ---smurfy--- hand.

Quoted for Troof. Dropouts = lost dollars. Maybe their HS system offers alternative programs like online coursework or alternative schools?
