of Illinois, the last school district that provided at least |
45 days of educational service to the student shall continue |
to be the district of residence until the student is no longer |
under guardianship of an Illinois public agency or until the |
student is returned to Illinois. |
If a student who is 18 years of age or older with no legal |
guardian is placed residentially outside of the school |
district in which the student's parent lives and the placement |
is funded by a State agency or through private insurance, then |
the resident district is the school district in which the |
parent lives. |
The resident district of a homeless student is the |
Illinois district in which the student enrolls for educational |
services. Homeless students include individuals as defined in |
the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. |
(c) The State Superintendent of Education may determine |
that the location of the parent or guardian of a student is |
unknown after considering information submitted from the |
school district that last enrolled the student or from the |
school or special education facility providing special |
education and related services to meet the needs of the |
student. The information submitted to the State Superintendent |
of Education must include an affidavit from that school |
district's superintendent or the facility's director attesting |
that the location of the parent or guardian is unknown and 4 |
items of documentary evidence that a minimum of 4 separate |
|
attempts were made to locate the parent or guardian. Any |
determination by the State Superintendent of Education that |
the location of a parent or guardian is unknown is final. |
However, any determination made by the State Superintendent of |
Education is subject to review and reconsideration any time a |
parent's or guardian's location becomes known. |
