2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 105 - SCHOOLS|105 ILCS 45/ - Education for Homeless Children Act.|Article 1

Sec. 1-17. Homeless prevention.(a) If a child is homeless or is at risk of becoming homeless, the school district may:(1) provide rental or mortgage assistance in such     amount as will allow the child and his or her parent, his or her guardian, or the person who enrolled the child to remain permanently in their current living situation or obtain a new living situation;(2) provide financial assistance with respect to     unpaid bills, loans, or other financial debts that results in housing being considered inadequate pursuant to Section 1-5 of this Act and the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act; or(3) provide assistance under both items (1) and (2)     of this subsection (a).(b) In order to provide homeless prevention assistance under subsection (a) of this Section, a school district shall first make an attempt to provide such assistance through a homeless assistance agency that is part of the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act's continuum of care for the area in which the school district is located.  If the attempts to secure assistance through the applicable continuum of care are unsuccessful, subject to the limitations specified in Section 29-5 of the School Code, transportation funds under Section 29-5 of the School Code may be used for those purposes.(c) Prior to providing homeless prevention assistance pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, a housing plan must first be approved in writing by the school district and the parent, guardian, or person who enrolled the child.(d) For purposes of this Section:"At risk of becoming homeless" means that documented evidence has been provided by the parent, guardian, or person who enrolled the child that shows that a living situation will, within 8 weeks, cease to become fixed, regular, and adequate and will result in the child becoming homeless within the definition of Section 1-5 of this Act and the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The documented evidence shall include, but need not be limited to: foreclosure notices, eviction notices, notices indicating that utilities will be shut off or discontinued, or written statements from the parent, guardian, or person who enrolled the child, supplemented by financial documentation, that indicate a loss of income that will prevent the maintenance of a permanent living situation."Person who enrolled the child" also means an unaccompanied youth.

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.  (Source: P.A. 100-863, eff. 8-14-18.)

Sec. 1-25. Ombudspersons; dispute resolution; civil actions.(a) Each regional superintendent of schools shall appoint an ombudsperson  who is fair and impartial and familiar with the educational rights and needs of homeless children to provide resource information and resolve disputes at schools within his or her jurisdiction relating to the rights of  homeless children under this Act.  If a school denies a homeless child enrollment or transportation, it  shall immediately refer the  child or his or her parent or guardian to the ombudsperson and provide the child or his or her parent or guardian with a written statement of the basis for the denial.  The child  shall be admitted and transported to the school chosen by the parent or guardian until final resolution of the dispute.  The ombudsperson shall  convene a meeting of all parties and attempt to resolve the dispute within 5  school days after receiving notice of the dispute, if possible.(a-5) Whenever a child and his or her parent or guardian who initially share the housing of another person due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar hardship continue to share the housing, a school district may, after the passage of 18 months and annually thereafter, conduct a review as to whether such hardship continues to exist.  The district may, at the time of review, request information from the parent or guardian to reasonably establish the hardship, and sworn affidavits or declarations may be sought and provided.  If, upon review, the district determines that the family no longer suffers such hardship, it may notify the family in writing and begin the process of dispute resolution as set forth in this Act. Any change required as a result of this review and determination shall be effective solely at the close of the school year. Any person who knowingly or willfully presents false information regarding the hardship of a child in any review under this subsection (a-5) shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.(b) Any party to a dispute under this Act may file a civil action in a  court  of competent jurisdiction to seek appropriate relief. In any civil action, a  party whose rights under this Act are found to have been violated shall be  entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs.(c) If a dispute arises, the school district shall inform parents and  guardians of homeless children of the availability of the ombudsperson, sources  of low cost or free legal assistance, and other advocacy services in the  community.
