Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Education
Plaintiff filed declaratory judgment action asserting that $350 fee for drivers education course was unauthorized under the Illinois Administrative Code and the free education clause of the Illinois Constitution. School District was a proper party to suit, but State Board of Education was not. Drivers education fee was not covered by the free education clause of the Illinois Constitution. School Code's language that the school district may charge a reasonable fee illustrates that drivers education was never intended to be free. (CAHILL and McBRIDE, concurring.)
