Question

[Butkus45]

I'm being transferred about 65 miles from my present location. My son is a senior. Does anybody know the rules on if my son can finish the year out at present school if we move?

not an expert, but with five children in school have some knowledge about schools. can you keep a mailing address and/or residence i.e. p.o. box, apartment, rental room from a neighbor/relative etc. to maintain? He is a senior and it is good that he finish at his school. My understanding is the mailing address he uses is the key. Good luck, hope it works out for him.

The Illinois State Board of Education and Illinois School Code both stipulate that, if a student starts a school year at District A, then moves out of district at any time, the student has a legal right to finish the school year at District A. The parent/guardian is responsible for all transportation.

Im sure coach powell could give you some information about going to school in a district other than the one you reside in.
