Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Carol A.

Order of fact-finding, same court and Judge, entered on or about December 8, 2009, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

A preponderance of the evidence established that respondent failed to exercise even a [*2]"minimum degree of care" in providing her son with an education (see Family Ct Act § 1012[f][i][A]; Matter of Baum, 61 AD2d 123, 130-131 [2d Dept 1978], lv denied 44 NY2d 647 [1978]).
