Ordered that the order of fact-finding and disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The mother appeals from an order finding that she neglected her son by failing to supply him with an adequate education ( see Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [A]). The petitioner met its burden of establishing educational neglect by a preponderance of the evidence ( see Family Ct Act § 1046 [b] [i]; Matter of Cunntrel A. [Jermaine D.A.], 70 AD3d 1308; Matter of Evan F., 48 AD3d 811; Matter of John K, 19 AD3d 497, 498-499). The petitioner submitted unrebutted evidence of excessive school absences, and the mother failed to offer a reasonable justification for the absences ( see Matter of Cunntrel A. [Jermaine D.A.], 70 AD3d at 1308; Matter of Evan F., 48 AD3d at 811; Matter of John N., 19 AD3d at 498-499).

The mother's remaining contentions are without merit.
