AN ACT concerning education.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section |
14-1.02 as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/14-1.02) (from Ch. 122, par. 14-1.02)
|
Sec. 14-1.02. Children with disabilities.
"Children with |
disabilities" means children
between the ages of 3 and 21 for |
whom it is determined, through definitions
and procedures
|
described in the Illinois Rules and Regulations to Govern the |
Organization
and Administration of Special Education, that |
special education services
are needed. An eligible student who |
requires continued public school educational experience to |
facilitate his or her successful transition and integration |
into adult life is eligible for such services through age 21, |
inclusive, which, for purposes of this Article, means the day |
before the student's 22nd birthday, unless his or her 22nd |
birthday occurs during the school year, in which case he or she |
is eligible for such services through the end of the school |
year. An individualized education program must be written and |
agreed
upon by appropriate school personnel and parents or |
their representatives
for any child receiving special |
education.
