If a parent is convicted of Parent Contributing to Non-Attendance, the court must remit to the school district or the juvenile justice alternative education program that the child has been ordered to attend one-half of the parent's fine.

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

Answer: (C)

When a parent is convicted of Parent Contributing to Non-Attendance, the court is required to remit one-half of the parent's fine to the school district the child attends or to the juvenile justice alternative education program the child has been ordered to attend. This remittance directs part of the penalty back into the child’s education program, reinforcing accountability by linking the consequence to the child’s schooling. The other portion of the fine remains under the court’s standard handling per statute. Because the rule specifies a mandatory half remittance to the designated educational program, the statement is true. Options proposing a different fraction or the entire amount do not fit the legal requirement.
