Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 3A-9.
Disconnection.
An educational service region, consisting
of 2 or more counties, may be restructured by the disconnection of a
county from the educational service region as provided in this Article.
However, no educational service region involved in the disconnection may
contain less than 33,000 inhabitants after the disconnection, unless it
is a region which after the disconnection contains an area that was
formed from the consolidation of 3 or more regions.
Disconnection may be initiated by a petition requesting an election
on whether the county should be disconnected from the present
educational service region and whether the county should be consolidated
with a different specified educational service region. A petition shall
be signed by 10% of the legal resident voters of the county to which the
petition refers; the petitioners' addresses shall be included.
A petition shall be filed with the regional superintendent of the
educational service region of which the county is a part not more than
99 nor less than 92 days prior to a regular scheduled election. The
regional superintendent and the county clerk shall
determine the sufficiency of the petition. If the petition is deemed
sufficient by the regional superintendent and the county clerk, the
regional superintendent shall call an election at the next regular scheduled
election for the purpose
of presenting a public measure, in accord with the petition, to the
voters of the county to be disconnected as specified in the petition.

Petition for Consolidation.
If a majority of those
voting in the disconnection election favor disconnection and requesting
consolidation with another educational service region, the regional
superintendent shall notify, within 30 days of the declaration of
official results, the regional board of school trustees for the
educational service region approved by the voters in the election of the
official results. When the official results are received, the regional
board of school trustees shall conduct a hearing on the petition, after
notice of hearing has been published once, not more than 15 nor less
than 10 days before the day of the hearing, in one or more newspapers
having general circulation in the region and in one or more newspapers
having general circulation in the county which is petitioning for the
consolidation. The secretary of the regional board of school trustees
shall notify the secretary of each school board affected by the proposed
consolidation, the chairman of the county board of each county affected
thereby and the State
Superintendent of Education that the petition has been filed. The
notice shall state the prayer of the petition and the date, time and
place of the hearing. The State Board of Education shall pay the
expenses of the hearing. Evidence admissible at the hearing shall
include, but not be limited to, the school needs and conditions in the
territory affected by the proposed consolidation, whether or not the
area is compact and contiguous; and whether or not the proposed
consolidation would be in the best interests of the schools in the area
and the educational welfare of the pupils of these schools. A record of
the proceedings shall be kept and a competent reporter shall be employed
to take stenographic or stenotype notes of all testimony. At the hearing
each resident of the region or of the county petitioning for
consolidation shall have the rights provided for residents under Section
7-6 and the final order of the regional board of school trustees shall
be subject to review as provided in Sections 7-6 and 7-7.
Within 10 days of the hearing the regional board of school trustees
shall meet and render a decision with regard to the hearing on the
petition. A copy of the final decision of the regional board of school
trustees shall be filed with the State Board of Education within 30 days
after the conclusion of the hearing. If the regional board of school
trustees renders a decision approving the consolidation, the region and
the county shall be consolidated into a single educational service
region and the State Board of Education shall notify all interested
parties, including the county clerks of the counties affected thereby
and the Secretary of State. The effective date of the consolidation
shall be immediately after the time for appeal of the order of
consolidation has passed or after the final disposition of any appeal
taken from a consolidation order.
If the regional board of school trustees renders a decision denying
the consolidation, a majority of the school boards located within the
county disconnected, upon the adoption of appropriate resolutions, may
petition another educational service region for consolidation. The
proceedings on this petition shall be consistent with this Section.

the county where the regional superintendent's office is located shall act
as the legal representative of the regional superintendent of schools; however,
where matters arise which are within the exclusive jurisdiction of another
State's attorney, said State's attorney shall provide legal representation. If, in multicounty educational service regions, the county boards grant approval through an intergovernmental agreement, or if, in educational service regions serving only one county, the county board grants approval, then the regional superintendent of schools is authorized to hire private legal counsel to represent him or her in legal matters, and each county located within the region shall pay a per capita share of the legal fees incurred, based on the number of people in the county according to the most recent U.S. census.
