Notes

The School District reserves the right to evaluate the evidence presented. Merely presenting the items listed does not guarantee admission.

If a student is determined to be a non-resident of the district for whom tuition must be charged, the persons enrolling the student are liable for non-resident tuition from the date the student began attending a district school as a non-resident.

A person who knowingly enrolls, or attempts to enroll, in the school district, on a tuition-free basis, a student known by that person to be a non-resident of the district is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor, except in very limited situations, as defined in State law (105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b(e).

A person who knowingly or willfully presents to the school district any false information regarding the residency of a student for the purpose of enabling that student to attend any school in that district without the payment of a non-resident tuition charge is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor (105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b(f).
