Illinois Statutes Chapter 105. Schools § 70/32. Educational records for children of active duty military personnel

(a) In the event that official educational records cannot be released to parents for the purpose of transfer, the custodian of the records in the sending state shall prepare and furnish to the parent a complete set of unofficial educational records to the extent feasible. Upon receipt of the unofficial educational records by a school in the receiving state, the school shall enroll and appropriately place the student based on the information provided in the unofficial records, pending validation by the official records as quickly as possible. This subsection (a) does not preclude the school in the receiving state from performing subsequent evaluations to ensure appropriate placement and continued enrollment of the student in a course or courses.

(b) Simultaneous with the enrollment and conditional placement of a student, the school in the receiving state shall request the student's official educational record from the school in the sending state. Upon receipt of this request, the school in the sending state shall process and furnish the official educational records to the receiving state within 15 days.
