Illinois Textbook Relocation Program
Pursuant to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/18-17), “The State Board of Education shall adopt appropriate regulations to administer this Section and to facilitate the equitable participation of all students eligible for benefits hereunder, including the exchange, trade, or transfer of loaned secular textbooks between schools or school districts for students enrolled in such schools or districts.” In compliance with this statute, the Illinois State Board of Education operates a textbook relocation program.
The Illinois Textbook Relocation Program guidelines are listed below.
- According to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/18-17), “After secular textbooks have been on loan under this Section for a period of 5 years or more, such textbooks may be disposed of by school districts in such a manner as their respective school boards shall determine following a written notification to the State Board of Education and expiration of a reasonable waiting period not to exceed 30 days.” If you need suggestions for donations or disposal, please contact the Illinois Textbook Loan Program staff at 217/782-0734.
