Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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. 1-10. Choice of schools.

When a child loses permanent housing and becomes a homeless person
within the meaning of Section 1-5, or when a homeless child changes his or her
temporary living arrangements, the parents or guardians of the homeless child
shall have the option of either:

(1) continuing the child's education in the school of

origin for as long as the child remains homeless or, if the child becomes permanently housed, until the end of the academic year during which the housing is acquired; or

(2) enrolling the child in any school that

nonhomeless students who live in the attendance area in which the child or youth is actually living are eligible to attend.
