More details to this question:
My sister has thousands of dollars in fines for her children refusing to go to school. So much in fines that she has no money to live when she does pay them. She's now homeless and trying to survive on a waitresses salary which isn't much.
1 ANSWER
It depends whether the fines were appropriately assessed and whether the school district is willing to negotiate. Your sister should see an attorney who practices educational law to discuss her situation.
