Sec. 26-18. Chronic absenteeism report and support.(a) As used in this Section:"Chronic absence" means absences that total 10% or more of school days of the most recent academic school year, including absences with and without valid cause, as defined in Section 26-2a of this Code, and out-of-school suspensions for an enrolled student."Student" means any enrolled student that is subject to compulsory attendance under Section 26-1 of this Code but does not mean a student for whom a documented homebound or hospital record is on file during the student's absence from school.(b) The General Assembly finds that:(1) The early years are a critical period in     children's learning and development. Every child should be counted present every day. Every day of school matters.(2) Being absent too many days from school can make     it difficult for students to stay on-track academically and maintain the momentum to graduate from high school in order to be college- or career-ready.(3) Every day of school attendance matters for all     students and their families. It is crucial, therefore, that the implications of chronic absence be understood and reviewed regularly.(c) Beginning July 1, 2018, every school district, charter school, or alternative school or any school receiving public funds shall collect and review its chronic absence data and determine what systems of support and resources are needed to engage chronically absent students and their families to encourage the habit of daily attendance and promote success. The review shall include an analysis of chronic absence data from each attendance center or campus of the school district, charter school, or alternative school or other school receiving public funds.(d) School districts, charter schools, or alternative schools or any school receiving public funds are encouraged to provide a system of support to students who are at risk of reaching or exceeding chronic absence levels with strategies such as those available through the Illinois Multi-tiered Systems of Support Network. Schools additionally are encouraged to make resources available to families such as those available through the State Board of Education's Family Engagement Framework to support and engage students and their families to encourage heightened school engagement and improved daily school attendance.

(105 ILCS 5/26-19)Sec. 26-19. Chronic absenteeism in preschool children.(a) In this Section, "chronic absence" has the meaning ascribed to that term in Section 26-18 of this Code.(b) The General Assembly makes all of the following findings:(1) The early years are an extremely important period     in a child's learning and development.(2) Missed learning opportunities in the early years     make it difficult for a child to enter kindergarten ready for success.(3) Attendance patterns in the early years serve as     predictors of chronic absenteeism and reduced educational outcomes in later school years.  Therefore, it is crucial that the implications of chronic absence be understood and reviewed regularly under the Preschool for All Program and Preschool for All Expansion Program under Section 2-3.71 of this Code.(c) The Preschool for All Program and Preschool for All Expansion Program under Section 2-3.71 of this Code shall collect and review its chronic absence data and determine what support and resources are needed to positively engage chronically absent students and their families to encourage the habit of daily attendance and promote success.(d) The Preschool for All Program and Preschool for All Expansion Program under Section 2-3.71 of this Code are encouraged to do all of the following:(1) Provide support to students who are at risk of     reaching or exceeding chronic absence levels.(2) Make resources available to families, such as     those available through the State Board of Education's Family Engagement Framework, to support and encourage families to ensure their children's daily program attendance.(3) Include information about chronic absenteeism as     part of their preschool to kindergarten transition resources.(e) On or before July 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, the Preschool for All Program and Preschool for All Expansion Program shall report all data collected under subsection (c) of this Section to the State Board of Education, which shall make the report publicly available via the Illinois Early Childhood Asset Map Internet website and the Preschool for All Program or Preschool for All Expansion Program triennial report.

No school or school district shall request or require additional documentation.(c) The person named to be the perpetrator, the  perpetrator's family, or any other person named by the student  or the student's parent or guardian to be unsafe to contact may  not be contacted to verify the violence, except to the extent that the district determines that it has an obligation to do so based on federal or State law or safety concerns for the school community, including such concerns for the victim.  Prior to making contact, a school must notify the student and his or his parent or guardian in writing and in a developmentally appropriate manner, and discuss  and address any safety concerns related to making such contact.

 (from Ch. 122, par. 27-1)Sec. 27-1. Areas of education taught - discrimination  on account of sex. The State of Illinois, having the responsibility of  defining requirements for elementary and secondary education, establishes  that the primary purpose of schooling is the transmission of knowledge and  culture through which children learn in areas necessary to their continuing  development and entry into the world of work.  Such areas include the language  arts, mathematics, the biological, physical and social sciences, the fine  arts and physical development and health.Each school district shall give priority in the allocation of resources,  including funds, time allocation, personnel, and facilities, to fulfilling  the primary purpose of schooling.The State Board of Education shall establish goals and learning standards consistent with the  above purposes and define the knowledge and skills which the State expects  students to master and apply as a consequence of their education.Each school district shall establish learning objectives consistent with  the State Board of Education's goals and learning standards for the areas referred to in this Section, shall develop appropriate testing and  assessment systems for determining the degree to which students are  achieving the objectives, and shall develop reporting systems to apprise the  community and State of the assessment results.Each school district shall make available to all  students academic and vocational courses for the attainment of learning  objectives.No student shall be refused admission into or be excluded from any  course of instruction offered in the common schools by reason of that  person's sex. No student shall, solely by reason of that person's sex,  be denied equal access to physical education and interscholastic  athletic programs or comparable programs supported from school district  funds.  This Section is violated when a high school subject to this Act  participates in the post-season basketball tournament of any organization  or association that does not conduct post-season high school basketball  tournaments for both boys and girls, which tournaments are identically  structured.  Conducting identically structured tournaments includes having  the same number of girls' teams as boys' teams playing, in their respective  tournaments, at any common location chosen for the final series of games in  a tournament; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to  prohibit the selection for the final series of games in the girls'  tournaments of a common location that is different than the common location  selected for the final series of games in the boys' tournaments. Except  as specifically stated in this Section, equal access  to programs supported by school district funds and comparable programs will  be defined in rules  promulgated  by  the  State  Board of  Education  in  consultation with the Illinois High School Association.
