If a parent is convicted of Parent Contributing to Non-Attendance, the court must remit to the school district or the juvenile justice program one-half of the parent's fine.

• A. True
• B. It remits one-quarter
• C. The remittance is the entire fine
• D. The remittance is one-half

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that the statute directs a fixed portion of the fine to be redirected to support schooling and juvenile services. For a parent convicted of contributing to a child's non-attendance, half of the fine must be remitted to the school district or the juvenile justice program. That means the court does not keep the full amount or a smaller portion; it designates 50 percent to the local educational or juvenile program to help fund attendance efforts. The other options (a quarter, the entire amount, or a vague True statement) do not align with this 50-percent requirement.
