| Illinois Education Code For
Homeschooling is the place to go for definitive answers. Illinois compulsory attendance law, chapter 122, 26-1, does not prohibit the operation of private schools in the home. The Illinois Supreme Court ruled in "People v. Levisen", 404 Ill. 574, 90 N.E. 2d 213 (1950), specifically allowing private/home schools to operate. The Illinois Supreme Court defined a school as "a place where instruction is imparted to the young." Illinois law does not require non-accredited private schools to provide an education that is equivalent to the public schools. The Illinois Board of Education has consistently recognized the right of private/home schools to legally operate since the Levisen ruling. Private/home schools are under no obligation to register with any public school agency. The only requirement for private/home schools are that the subjects being taught are comparable to those taught in public schools and that they are taught in the English language. The Illinois School Code (122, 26-1) only mandates that private schools expose children to the branches of learning being utilized by local school districts. The Illniois State Board of Education has never been given the power or authority to make legally binding rules and regulations for non-accredited private schools. The Illinois State Constitution, Article X, Section 1 & 2, only give the state authority to establish, maintain and control public schools, not private schools. In conclusion, if public officials contact home school parents, the only information that they are entitled to receive is a written statement declaring that the children are receiving instruction for approximately 176 days per year with a curriculum that is printed in English, and contains subjects comparable to subjects students in public schools are studying. Home school parents are NOT required to complete or submit the voluntary registration form that is sent out by some public school officials, entitled "Statement of Assurance." from "THE FACTS ON HOME SCHOOLING IN ILLINOIS" |
