Summary
Amends the Children with Disabilities Article of the School Code. Provides that a parent or guardian that moves out of the State after the parent's or guardian's child is placed in a nonpublic school or special education facility, public out-of-state school, or county special education facility shall enroll the child in a school in the other state to initiate reimbursement to Illinois. Provides that if the laws, policies, or procedures of the other state prohibit the foregoing or if the parent or guardian otherwise provides proof of at least one satisfactory attempt to enroll the child but is refused by the other state, the child shall continue to be deemed a resident of the last school district in which the child was enrolled. In provisions concerning the determination that the location of a parent or guardian of a student is unknown, provides that the information submitted from a school district or school or special education facility providing special education to the State Superintendent of Education must include an affidavit from that school district's superintendent or the facility's director attesting that the location of the parent or guardian is unknown and at least 3 satisfactory attempts were made to locate the parent or guardian and no response was received from the parent or guardian within 14 days after such satisfactory attempts (instead of requiring 4 items of documentary evidence that a minimum of 4 separate attempts were made). Provides that any determination by the State Superintendent of Education that the location of a parent or guardian is unknown shall be made as soon as practicable after receipt of the affidavit from the school district's superintendent or the facility's director. Provides that a school district or special education facility may request assistance with determining the location of a parent or guardian from the State Board of Education. In provisions concerning placement in a residential facility, provides that if the child is not currently enrolled in a school district or if the resident school district is unknown, the appropriate resident school district must be identified and the child must be enrolled in that district prior to the placement of the child, except in emergency situations. Provides that the residential facility shall require the parent or guardian of the child to sign a contract upon placement in the residential facility affirming that the parent or guardian understands the parent's or guardian's obligations under State law, including the obligation to enroll the child in the appropriate school district of residence at time of placement or upon the child reaching the age of 3. Provides that the identified school district of residence may not deny enrollment on the basis of the child's placement. Effective immediately.
