Most importantly, how does she do in school, if she does well in school and cuts sometimes, cut her some slack, she's obviously bored by the curriculum. If she doesent then its a problem.

This has got to be the best way to go. If she really is a good kid 97% of the time then a missed school day here or there isn't going to hurt her. Especially if her grades are good. I was a good kid, got good grades, cut for the first time when I was 17. I had a good time that day, enjoyed my 'freedom of choice' but still graduated with a good GPA. It didn't do me any harm and I can't see why it would her unless it becomes a recurring problem or her grades go to shit. She's 17, nearly an 'adult'. Loosen the apron strings a little.
