Admission of Resident Students Policy

Residency
Students whose legal residences are in District 93 may attend Hillside School. In case of doubt or dispute, the burden of providing such residence shall be upon the parent/guardian of the child. Enrollment of students new to the District, with the exception of those children entering school for the first time, shall not be considered complete until documentary evidence of prior school attendance is presented. Furthermore, enrollment shall be considered temporary until a residency check conducted by an investigation service representing the Board of Education has been completed. Enrolling students and their families shall be notified of this at the time of enrollment.

In addition to the above, under Illinois State law the Board of Education may act to collect tuition from anyone who fraudulently enrolls a youngster. Tuition during the 2001 2002 school year was $9,726.30.
