Illinois Statutes Chapter 105. Schools § 5/2-3.76. Agency responsibility for ensuring provision of educational services

§ 2-3.76. The State Board of Education shall be the State agency responsible for ensuring that educational services are provided to all eligible children in Illinois. This shall enhance the ability of the State Board to guarantee that an appropriate education is made available to each eligible child regardless of which agency places a child or is responsible for its care and custody. In order to fully implement this Section the State Board shall have the authority to ensure that the educational programs provided by the Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections, the educational components of the residential schools operated by the Department of Human Services, and the educational placements paid for by the Department of Children and Family Services shall meet the standards of programs that shall be provided to all eligible children.
