Illinois School Law Survey is a practical resource designed to help school board members, school officials, and community members find answers to school law questions. The book addresses more than 1,600 questions across 27 chapters, with each answer supported by citations to relevant statutes, administrative rules, and court decisions.  

The Survey is especially valued for the guidance it provides when navigating state and federal laws impacting public education. In addition to a comprehensive Table of Contents, the Quick Reference Index makes it easy to locate specific topics and pinpoint where they are discussed in the book. A Table of Court Cases further simplifies research by linking each case to the related questions. 

All questions and answers have been updated to reflect legislation and court decisions through January 1, 2026), and new questions have been added to address recent statutory and case law developments. (Note: This publication does not include laws unique to Chicago Public School District 299.)
