105 ILCS 5/13B-20.30: Location of program.

A school district must consider offering an alternative learning opportunities program on-site in the regular school. An alternative learning opportunities program may be provided at facilities separate from the regular school or in classrooms elsewhere on school premises; however, in no instance may a student in kindergarten through grade 5 who is enrolled in an alternative learning opportunities program participate in that program or receive services outside of the student's home district except as otherwise provided in this Section. A district is encouraged to ensure that educational support and other services are provided to the student as part of the student's activities in the classroom to which the student is originally assigned, unless the nature of the services dictate otherwise. Any student in kindergarten through grade 2 placed in an out-of-district alternative learning opportunities program shall have the student's placement limited to 90 days beginning on the student's first date of attendance in the program. For students with disabilities, such removal shall be consistent with 34 CFR 300.530.

The State Board of Education may adopt rules to clarify the implementation of this Section.
