School Code
Illinois · Schools · §§ 105-5-1-1 to 105-5-1-4 · 5 sections
Overview
The act establishes a comprehensive statutory framework for the governance and operation of public elementary and secondary schools, organized around locally constituted public school districts as the primary units of administration. It sets out the definitions and rules of construction that govern how its provisions are read and applied, including standardized treatment of statutory notice requirements. It also declares that the powers it grants to public school districts — whether express or implied, and whether drawn from the act itself, other state law, or the state constitution — may be exercised regardless of any resulting effect on competition, insulating district action from antitrust challenge.
