Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 10-21.3a. Transfer of students.
(a) Each school board shall establish and
implement a
policy governing the transfer of a student from one attendance center to
another within the
school district upon the request of the student's parent or guardian.
A
student may not transfer to any of the following attendance centers, except by
change in
residence if the policy authorizes enrollment based on residence in an
attendance area
or unless approved by the board on an individual basis:
(1) An attendance center that exceeds or as a result |
| of the transfer would exceed its attendance capacity.
|
|
(2) An attendance center for which the board has
|
| established academic criteria for enrollment if the student does not meet the criteria.
|
|
(3) Any attendance center if the transfer would
|
| prevent the school district from meeting its obligations under a State or federal law, court order, or consent decree applicable to the school district.
|
|
(b) Each school board shall establish and implement a policy governing the
transfer of students within a school district from a persistently dangerous
school to another public school in that district that is not deemed to be
persistently dangerous.
In order to be considered a persistently dangerous school, the
school must meet all of the following criteria for 2 consecutive years:
(1) Have greater than 3% of the students enrolled in
|
| the school expelled for violence-related conduct.
|
|
(2) Have one or more students expelled for bringing a
|
| firearm to school as defined in 18 U.S.C. 921.
|
|
(3) Have at least 3% of the students enrolled in the
|
| school exercise the individual option to transfer schools pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section.
|
|
(c) A student may transfer from one public school to
another public school in that district if the student is a victim of a violent
crime as defined in Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act.

hours or during a school-sponsored event.
