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 70/5)

Sec. 5. Purpose.

It is the purpose of this Act to remove barriers to educational success imposed on children of active duty military personnel because of frequent moves and deployment of their parents by:

(1) facilitating the timely enrollment of children of

active duty military personnel and ensuring that they are not placed at a disadvantage due to difficulty in the transfer of educational records from the previous school district;

(2) facilitating the student placement process

through which children of active duty military personnel are not disadvantaged by variations in attendance requirements, scheduling, sequencing, or assessment;

(3) facilitating the qualification and eligibility

for enrollment and educational programs of children of active duty military personnel;

(4) facilitating the on-time graduation of children

of active duty military personnel; and

(5) promoting flexibility and cooperation between the

educational system, parents, and the student in order to achieve educational success for the student.
