159.180 Parents responsible for children's violations.
Every parent, guardian, or custodian of a child residing in any school district in this
state is legally responsible for any violation of KRS 159.010 to 159.170 by the child.
Before any proceedings are instituted against the parent, guardian, or custodian for
violation of KRS 159.010 to 159.170, a written notice of the violation shall be served
on the person by the director of pupil personnel, and one (1) day shall be given for
the termination of the violation. After such notice, if the violation is continued or if the
provisions of KRS 159.010 to 159.170 are again violated during the school term by
the child, no further notice shall be necessary and the parent or guardian shall be
punishable as provided in KRS 159.990. A notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by personal service by the director of pupil personnel shall be a legal
notice.
