			 ILCS 5/2-3.66 ]
b) Programs funded under this grant shall
			 serve students identified as one of the following:
1) a truant, as defined in Section 26-2a of
			 the School Code [105 ILCS 5/26-2a ]; or
2) a chronic or habitual truant, as defined
			 in Section 26-2a of the School Code; or
3) a dropout, as defined in Section 26-2a of
			 the School Code; or
4) a potential
			 dropout, which is any student subject to compulsory attendance as defined in
			 Article 26 of the School Code [105 ILCS 5 /Art. 26] and whose school absences
			 or pattern of school attendance impedes the student's learning or contributes
			 to the student's failure to meet State and/or district learning standards.
			 Attendance problems may include chronic truancy, truancy, selective absences,
			 excessive absences or a pattern of absences or tardiness. In assessing whether
			 marginal school attendance problems would place a student within the definition
			 of "potential dropout," consideration shall be given to a student's personal
			 involvement in the education process, apparent motivation to receive an
			 education, or any continued and obvious apathy or disaffection for education,
			 particularly, when indications of uninvolvement, lack of motivation or
			 disaffection are coupled with currently known individual or family
			 circumstances that, if they remain unresolved, would be reasonably expected to
			 result in escalating attendance problems.
