Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 755.27 - The Admissions Process
a) When the information required by Section
755.25 has
been received, the School may request the following to determine a student's
eligibility for admission:
1) if additional
documentation is needed, the parents shall be requested to sign a release of
information for the purpose of obtaining the additional
documentation;
2) if additional
documentation is not available, the School may require additional evaluations
from the LEA and/or parent to determine if the School is the appropriate
placement for the student.
b) When all of the necessary information
required for admission has been received, the Superintendent's designee shall
convene a meeting to determine eligibility. The meeting shall include
representatives of LEA staff, School educational and dormitory representatives,
medical personnel, the parents, the student and any other individual deemed
necessary by the Superintendent. The purpose of this meeting shall be to review
all of the required application information and:
1) make a request for additional information,
if deemed necessary; or
2)
recommend to the Superintendent that the student be granted admission;
or
3) recommend to the
Superintendent that the student attend school on an evaluation basis;
or
4) recommend to the
Superintendent that the student be denied admission.
c) An evaluation shall be used when, after
receipt of all necessary information, there remains a question as to whether
the School is an appropriate setting for the student. An evaluation shall be
used for up to one semester. If, at the end of the evaluation, it remains
unclear as to the appropriateness of the School for the student, a second
evaluation may be granted for up to an additional semester. The anticipated
time frame of the evaluation will be established by the School, parents, local
school district and student prior to beginning the evaluation. The evaluation
is not an admission to the School. The results of the evaluation shall
determine admission. At the conclusion of the evaluation, the School, parents,
student and local school district shall discuss whether admission to the School
is appropriate.
d) The
superintendent shall send written notification within 15 working days following
the meeting. Notification shall be sent to the parent and the local school
district regarding the outcome of the application for admission. For students
who are accepted, the letter shall contain such information as the date of
planned admission and any special considerations or expectations. This letter
may also include the information regarding an evaluation. Students who are
accepted will be enrolled as soon as possible, but no later than the beginning
of the next semester, provided space is available. For students denied
admission, the Superintendent shall furnish to the applicant's parents, the
local school district, and ISBE a written statement detailing the reasons for
the denial, including, but not limited to, the types of related aids and
services the child needs and the reasons the School cannot provide those aids
and services. The statement shall also notify the parents of their right to
appeal this decision to the Superintendent.
