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.

(105 ILCS 45/1-20)

Sec. 1-20. Enrollment.

If the parents or guardians of a homeless
child or youth choose to enroll the child in a school other than the school of
origin, that school immediately shall enroll the homeless child or youth even
if the child or youth is unable to produce records normally required for
enrollment, such as previous academic records, medical records, proof of
residency, or other documentation.  Nothing in this Section shall prohibit
school districts from requiring parents or guardians of a homeless child to
submit an address or such other contact information as the district may require
from parents or guardians of nonhomeless children.  It shall be the duty
of the enrolling school to immediately contact the school last attended by the
child or youth to obtain relevant academic and other records.  If the child
or youth must obtain immunizations, it shall be the duty of the enrolling
school to promptly refer the child or youth for those immunizations.
