Kenna Zavala · Answer 1

That statement is false

Explanation:

The number of cases like this is actually very staggering.

Truant / unexcused absence actually could cost the parents around $300 if the case is brought up to court.

Since 1990, there are actually more than 1000 cases in which parents have been ordered to serve time in jail time because they refuse to pay the fine for the truant.
