When a parent is convicted of contributing to nonattendance, the city must pay the fine to the school district.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. To the state
• D. To the county

Answer: (B)

The important idea here is how fines from school-attendance offenses are allocated. When a parent is convicted of contributing to nonattendance, the statute directs the collected fine to be paid to the school district. This design links the penalty directly to the educational authority affected by the behavior, ensuring the funds support the district that serves the student. The city acts as the enforcing body and collects the fine, but the money isn’t kept by the city or sent to the state or county; it goes to the school district to fund education and attendance-related efforts. So this statement is true.
