Can a local school district that has either or both Sections 105 and 105c Schools of Choice in its elementary building enroll nonresident pupils in the high school?
A25: YES. The district can enroll nonresident pupils in a non-Schools of Choice building. However, in order to count the pupils in membership and generate state aid, the local school district must obtain a release. (If the program is a cooperative education program, there must be a written agreement in place in order to count the pupil in membership.) Q26: A local school district has either or both Sections 105 and 105c Schools of Choice in the high school. The pupil has younger elementary age siblings. Must the district enroll the younger pupils even though the elementary building was not designated as a Schools of Choice building? A26: NO. A local school district is not required to enroll the siblings in a building, grade level, or program which has not been identified as a Schools of Choice program. If the local school district chooses to enroll the younger siblings, it must obtain a release in order to count them in membership.
