Students, citizens, civic groups, businesses, and community organizations benefit from community service education programs by developing strong partnerships that enhance the value of schools and quality of life in communities. Community service education programs build stronger schools, stronger communities, and a positive environment.\nIn many communities, the school district is the economic engine that provides jobs, economic stability, and prosperity. Community service education programs enable more school districts and communities to prosper economically while promoting good citizenship. School districts that offer community service education programs enjoy a significant return on their investment. Hence, the policy of the State of Illinois is to support such programs by providing incentives to encourage school districts to offer community service education programs.","path":["CHAPTER 105 SCHOOLS","Community Service Education Act."],"source_url":"https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ILCS/details?ActID=2800\u0026ChapterID=17\u0026ChapAct=FullText\u0026Print=True","current_through":"at least Public Act 104-790","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-15T04:46:26Z","sha256":"94baaef0b97e3af3b6ddb098a8b41867e986ee2883c06fc3a0619eb3594b6d0b","source_id":"us-il","stale":false,"prev":"us-il/105-ilcs-60-1","next":"us-il/105-ilcs-60-10"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
