the school

Explanation:

In most legal systems, parents have a legal obligation to ensure their child's regular school attendance. Since the principal couldn't locate Janie at home and parents couldn't advise on her whereabouts, the responsibility lies with the parents. Janie, as a minor, may not be held criminally responsible in the same way as an adult. The school has reported the situation (fulfilling its duty in some regards).

Answer:

Janie's parent only
