What must a city NOT do when a parent is convicted of contributing to nonattendance?

In the context of handling cases where a parent is convicted of contributing to nonattendance, the correct answer highlights the obligation of the city regarding the financial responsibilities related to such a conviction. If a parent is found guilty, it is not the city's responsibility to pay any fines imposed on the parent. The legal consequences, including fines, are intended to be addressed and borne by the parent themselves, as they are directly accountable for their actions that contributed to their child's nonattendance.

Cities and school districts have procedures in place to notify and report such convictions to the appropriate authorities, like the school district and the state, to ensure accountability and compliance with attendance laws. Providing legal counsel to the parent is also often outside the city's responsibilities, as the parent has the right to seek their own legal representation if they choose to contest the conviction or seek further legal support.
