Playing hooky, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absent

(Other definitions for absent that I've seen before include "Not at a specified place" , "Forgetful, with mind on other things" , "Not present or focused" , "Missing, lacking" , "Not present - vacuous" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the LA Times.
