which the parent resides or in which the school is located; or
(3) a municipal court of the municipality in which the
parent resides or in which the school is located.

misdemeanor. Each day the child remains out of school may
constitute a separate offense. Two or more offenses under

remaining to constitute an offense under this section. The burden
is on the defendant to show by a preponderance of the evidence that
the absence has been excused or that the absence was involuntary. A
decision by the court to excuse an absence for purposes of this
section does not affect the ability of the school district to
determine whether to excuse the absence for another purpose.

Subsection (a) was involuntary. The burden is on the defendant to
