HOUSE RESOLUTION 770

 
2     WHEREAS, It is the tendency of many schools across the
3 State to separate twins, triplets, or other multiple siblings
4 into different classrooms upon entering the school system; and
 
5     WHEREAS, The separation of multiples when entering the
6 school environment can be detrimental to the support system
7 between multiples; and
 
8     WHEREAS, Each multiple is an individual; therefore,
9 separation in school is not necessary to develop their
10 individuality; and
 
11     WHEREAS, Separation of multiples in school can cause
12 hardship to the parents who have to deal with different class
13 schedules and activities; and
 
14     WHEREAS, The fact that the policy of separating multiples
15 has been followed by many schools does not mean that it is the
16 better or the correct policy; and
 
17     WHEREAS, Each set of multiples is different; while some
18 multiples will do better when placed together, others do better
19 when separated; therefore, placement of multiples should be
20 determined on a case-by-case basis with priority given to the
21 preference of the parents; therefore, be it
 
22     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
23 NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
24 we recommend that all school districts in the State develop a
25 policy concerning the separation of multiples that considers
26 each set of multiples on a case-by-case basis and takes into
27 consideration the preference of the parents and the best
28 interest of the children; and be it further
