• Parochial and Homeschool Students

    A student who attends a parentally placed private or parochial school or is home schooled within the boundaries of Glen Ellyn School District 41 is eligible for consideration for a special education evaluation and services in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA). IDEA 2004-Section 612 requires each public school district to utilize a portion of its Federal Part B special education funds in order to provide students with disabilities, who attend private schools within the boundaries of the district, the opportunity to equitably participate in special education and services offered by the district. When there is reason to believe that a student may have a disability requiring special education and related services, the student can be referred for a special education evaluation by any concerned person, including school personnel, the parent/guardian of the student, an employee of a community service agency, or the student.


    Timely and Meaningful Consultation
    Each year, Glen Ellyn District 41 hosts a meeting called the Timely and Meaningful Consultation (TMC). At the TMC, information is shared pertaining to how students who are suspected of having one or more disabilities may access the District programs to address the nature and scope of the disabilities.

    Parents of students attending a private or parochial school or students who are home-schooled and need further information regarding services for their child should contact the District’s Executive Director of Student Services, Molly Victor at (630) 534-7573.
