The Parenting Plan remains in effect even if one of the parents fails to follow it. However, the failure of one parent to follow the Parenting Plan could be grounds for modification by the court. In the situation you describe, it is the parent's responsibility to make arrangements for the child's care (at that parent's cost) if that parent is unable to pick the child up from school. If that parent refuses to make such arrangements, a modification petition should be filed to require the absent parent to either make such arrangements or otherwise forfeit their timesharing for that period.
