True or False: The local truancy prevention and diversion fund can be used to pay the salary of a court administrator in the absence of a juvenile case manager.

The statement is false because the local truancy prevention and diversion fund has specific intended uses related to preventing truancy and diverting youth from the juvenile justice system. It is typically designed to fund programs and services that directly address truancy issues, such as counseling, educational programs, and community engagement activities. Paying the salary of a court administrator does not align with these focused objectives.

Using the fund for administrative salaries deviates from its primary purpose, which is to support direct interventions. Therefore, in standard circumstances, it would not be permissible to allocate these funds to pay for administrative roles. This ensures that the resources are actively contributing to the intended goals of truancy prevention and support for youth and their families.
