Illinois School Law Survey is a convenient guide for answering the school legal questions of educators and laymen. The Survey presents answers to more than 1,600 questions in 27 chapters, along with a list of the statutes, rules, and court cases on which the answer is based. The book's popularity stems in part from the guidance it provides in searching for state or federal laws. In addition to an extensive Table of Contents, the Quick Reference Index offers a detailed listing of more narrow topics and where they are discussed in the book.

  

Questions and answers have been updated to reflect legislation and court decisions from the past two years (to January 1, 2024), and questions have been added to cover new statutes and case law. (Note: Excludes laws unique to Chicago Public School District 299.) A Table of Court Cases makes finding questions about each case easy.
