| ||||
For all school districts electing candidates to a board of | ||||

Except in those instances when the ballot under | ||||

candidate | ||||
groupings by area of residence for unexpired
full terms shall | ||||
precede the
candidate groupings by area of residence for full
| ||||

the
order of petition filing or lottery held pursuant to | ||
Section 9-11.1 in the
following manner:
| ||
The area of residence of the candidate determined to be | ||

of residence of the candidate determined to be second by the
| ||
order of petition filing or the
lottery shall be listed second | ||
among the candidate groupings on the ballot.

candidates from the same area of residence will follow | ||
according
to the order of petition filing or the lottery. The | ||
ballot order of
additional candidate groupings by area of | ||
residence shall be established in a
like manner.
| ||
In any school district that elects its board members | ||
according to area of
residence and that has one or more | ||
unexpired terms to be filled at an election,
the winner or | ||
winners of the unexpired term or terms shall be determined | ||
first
and independently of those running for full terms. The | ||
winners of the full
terms shall then be determined taking into | ||
consideration the areas of residence
of those elected to fill | ||
the unexpired term or terms.
| ||

| ||
incorporated and
unincorporated territories, and, if the form | ||

Sec. 14-16. Participation in graduation ceremony.
| ||
(a) This Section may be referred to as Brittany's Law. The | ||
General Assembly finds the following: | ||
(1) Each year, school districts across this State | ||
celebrate their students' accomplishments through | ||
graduation ceremonies at which high school diplomas are | ||
bestowed upon students who have completed their high school | ||
requirements. | ||
(2) There are children with disabilities in this State | ||
who have finished 4 years of high school, but whose | ||
individualized education programs prescribe the | ||
continuation of special education, transition planning, | ||
transition services, or related services beyond the | ||
completion of 4 years of high school. | ||
(3) It is well-established that the awarding of a high | ||
school diploma to and the high school graduation of a child | ||
with a disability is tantamount to the termination of | ||
eligibility for special education and related services for | ||
the student under applicable federal law. | ||
(4) Many children with disabilities who will continue | ||
their public education in accordance with their | ||
individualized education programs after finishing 4 years | ||
of high school wish to celebrate their accomplishments by | ||
participating in a graduation ceremony with their | ||
classmates. | ||
(5) The opportunity for classmates with disabilities | ||
and those without disabilities to celebrate their | ||
accomplishments together only occurs once, and the | ||
opportunity to celebrate the receipt of a diploma several | ||
years after one's classmates have graduated diminishes the | ||
experience for students whose age peers have left high | ||
school several years earlier. | ||
(b) Beginning March 1, 2005, each school district that | ||
operates a high school must have a policy and procedures that | ||
allow a child with a disability who will have completed 4 years | ||
of high school at the end of a school year to participate in | ||
the graduation ceremony of the student's high school graduating | ||
class and receive a certificate of completion if the student's | ||
individualized education program prescribes special education, | ||
transition planning, transition services, or related services | ||
beyond the student's 4 years of high school. The policy and | ||
procedures must require timely and meaningful written notice to | ||
children with disabilities and their parents or guardians about | ||
the school district's policy and procedures adopted in | ||
accordance with this Section. | ||
(c) The State Board of Education shall monitor and enforce | ||
compliance with the provisions of this Section and is | ||
authorized to adopt rules for that purpose. | ||
(105 ILCS 5/26-2) (from Ch. 122, par. 26-2) | ||
(Text of Section from P.A. 93-803) | ||
Sec. 26-2. Enrolled pupils below 7 or over 17
16.
| ||
(a) Any person having custody or
control of a child who is | ||
below the age of 7 years or is 17 years of age or above the age | ||
of 16 years

| ||
in the public school shall
cause him to attend the public | ||
school in the district wherein he resides when
it is in session | ||

| ||
paragraph
paragraphs 2, 3, 4,
or 5, or 6 of Section 26-1.
| ||
(b) A school district shall deny reenrollment in its | ||
secondary schools
to any
child above the age of 19 years of age | ||
or above who has dropped out of school

normal
school year and graduate before his or her twenty-first | ||
birthday.
A district may, however, enroll the child in a | ||
graduation incentives program under Section 26-16 of this Code | ||
or an alternative learning
opportunities program established
| ||
under Article 13B.
No
child shall be denied reenrollment for | ||
the above reasons
unless the school district first offers the | ||
child
due process as required in cases of expulsion under | ||
Section
10-22.6. If a child is denied reenrollment after being | ||
provided with due
process, the school district must provide | ||
counseling to that child and
must direct that child to
| ||
alternative educational
programs, including adult education | ||
programs, that lead to graduation or
receipt of a GED diploma.
| ||
(c) A school or school district may deny enrollment to a | ||
student 17
16 years

or older for one semester for | ||
failure to meet minimum academic standards if all

(1) The student achieved a grade point average of less | ||
than "D" (or its
equivalent)
in the semester immediately | ||
prior to the current semester.
| ||
(2) The student and the student's parent or guardian | ||
are given written
notice
warning that the student is | ||
failing academically and is subject to denial from
| ||
enrollment for one semester unless a "D" average (or its | ||
equivalent) or better
is attained in the
current
semester.
| ||
(3) The parent or guardian is provided with the right | ||
to appeal the
notice, as
determined by the State Board of | ||
Education in accordance with due process.
| ||
(4) The student is provided with an academic | ||
improvement plan and academic
remediation services.
| ||
(5) The student fails to achieve a "D" average (or its | ||
equivalent) or
better in the current
semester.

| ||
(1) The student was absent without valid cause for 20% | ||
or more of the
attendance
days in the semester immediately | ||
prior to the current semester.
| ||
(2) The student and the student's parent or guardian | ||
are given written
notice
warning that the student is | ||
subject to denial from enrollment for one
semester
unless | ||
the student is absent without valid cause less than 20% of | ||
the
attendance days
in the current semester.
| ||
(3) The student's parent or guardian is provided with | ||
the right to appeal
the
notice, as determined by the State | ||

(4) The student is provided with attendance | ||
remediation services,
including
without limitation | ||

Education Act or the Americans with
Disabilities Act.

(e) In this subsection (e), "reenrolled student" means a | ||
dropout who has
reenrolled
full-time in a public school. Each | ||

Sec. 26-8. Determination as to compliance - Complaint in | ||
circuit court.
A truant officer or, in a school district that | ||
does not have a truant officer, the regional superintendent of | ||
schools or his or her designee, after giving the notice | ||
provided in Section 26-7, shall
determine whether the notice | ||
has been complied with. If 3 notices have been given and the | ||
notices have not
been complied with, and if the persons having | ||
custody or control have knowingly
and wilfully permitted the | ||
truant behavior to continue, the regional superintendent of | ||
schools, or his or her designee, of the school district where | ||
the child resides shall conduct a truancy hearing. If the | ||
regional superintendent determines as a result of the hearing | ||
that the child is truant, the regional superintendent shall, if | ||
age appropriate at the discretion of the regional | ||
superintendent, require the student to complete 20 to 40 hours | ||
of community service over a period of 90 days. If the truancy | ||
persists, the regional superintendent shall (i) make complaint | ||

attorney or in the circuit court in the county where such | ||
person resides
for failure to comply with the provisions of | ||

continued, and the child is beyond the control of the parents, | ||
guardians
or custodians, a truancy petition shall be filed | ||

of 1987.

Sec. 26-16. Graduation incentives program.
| ||
(a) The General Assembly finds that it is critical to | ||
provide options for children to succeed in school. The purpose | ||
of this Section is to provide incentives for and encourage all | ||
Illinois students who have experienced or are experiencing | ||
difficulty in the traditional education system to enroll in | ||
alternative programs. | ||
(b) Any student who is below the age of 20 years
no more | ||
than 18 years of age is eligible to enroll in a graduation | ||
incentives program if he or she: | ||
(1) is considered a dropout pursuant to Section 26-2a | ||
of this Code; | ||
(2) has been suspended or expelled pursuant to Section | ||
10-22.6 or 34-19 of
this Code; | ||
(3) is pregnant or is a parent; | ||
(4) has been assessed as chemically dependent; or | ||
(5) is enrolled in a bilingual education or LEP | ||
program. | ||
(c) The following programs qualify as graduation | ||
incentives programs for students meeting the criteria | ||
established in this Section: | ||
(1) Any public elementary or secondary education | ||
graduation incentives program established by a school | ||
district or by a regional office of education. | ||
(2) Any alternative learning opportunities program | ||
established pursuant to Article 13B of this Code. | ||
(3) Vocational or job training courses approved by the | ||
State Superintendent of Education that are available | ||
through the Illinois public community college system. | ||
Students may apply for reimbursement of 50% of tuition | ||
costs for one course per semester or a maximum of 3 courses | ||
per school year. Subject to available funds, students may | ||
apply for reimbursement of up to 100% of tuition costs upon | ||
a showing of employment within 6 months after completion of | ||
a vocational or job training program. The qualifications | ||
for reimbursement shall be established by the State | ||
Superintendent of Education by rule. | ||
(4) Job and career programs approved by the State | ||
Superintendent of Education that are available through | ||
Illinois-accredited private business and vocational | ||
schools. Subject to available funds, pupils may apply for | ||
reimbursement of up to 100% of tuition costs upon a showing | ||
of employment within 6 months after completion of a job or | ||
career program. The State Superintendent of Education | ||
shall establish, by rule, the qualifications for | ||
reimbursement, criteria for determining reimbursement | ||
amounts, and limits on reimbursement. | ||
(5) Adult education courses that offer preparation for | ||
the General Educational Development Test. | ||
(d) Graduation incentives programs established by school | ||
districts are entitled to claim general State aid, subject to | ||
Sections 13B-50, 13B-50.5, and 13B-50.10 of this Code. | ||
Graduation incentives programs operated by regional offices of | ||
education are entitled to receive general State aid at the | ||
foundation level of support per pupil enrolled. A school | ||
district must ensure that its graduation incentives program | ||
receives supplemental general State aid, transportation | ||
reimbursements, and special education resources, if | ||
appropriate, for students enrolled in the program.
