WARNING:
If a student
is determined to be a nonresident of the District for whom tuition
must be charged, the persons enrolling the student are liable for
non-resident tuition from the date the student began attending
a District school as a non-resident.
A person who
knowingly enrolls or attempts to enroll in this School District
on a tuition-free basis a student known by that person to be a
nonresident of the district is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor,
except in very limited situations as defined in State law (105ILCS
5/10-20.12b(e).
A person who
knowingly or willfully presents to the School District any false
information regarding the residency of a student for the purpose
of enabling that student to attend any school in that district
without the payment of a nonresident tuition charge is guilty of
a Class C misdemeanor (105 ILCS 5/10-20.12b(f).
