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.
(105 ILCS 5/10-21.8) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-21.8)
Sec. 10-21.8. Correspondence and Reports. In the absence of any
court order to the contrary to require that, upon the
request of either parent of a pupil whose parents are divorced or, if the student is in the legal custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, the Department's Office of Education and Transition Services, copies of
the following: reports or records which reflect the pupil's academic
progress, reports of the pupil's emotional and physical health, notices of
school-initiated parent-teacher conference, notices of major
school-sponsored events, such as open houses, which involve pupil-parent
interaction, and copies of the school calendar regarding the child which
are furnished by the school district to one parent be furnished by mail to
the other parent or, if applicable, the Department's Office of Education and Transition Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section a school board shall not, under the authority of this Section, refuse
to mail copies of reports, records, notices or other documents regarding a
pupil to a parent of the pupil as provided by this Section, unless the
school board first has been furnished with a certified copy of the court
order prohibiting the release of such reports, records, notices or other
documents to that parent. No such reports or records with respect to a
pupil shall be provided to a parent who has been prohibited by an order of
protection from inspecting or obtaining school records of that pupil
pursuant to the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, as now or hereafter amended.
