Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
School Board properly found that Plaintiffs' daughter, a 7th-grader, was not a legal resident of the district during the school year. Board found that Plaintiffs leased an apartment in Niles, in a building where they had a flower business, but found Plaintiffs not credible. Surveillance showed daughter and her older brother leaving and entering the family's house in Des Plaines throughout the day, and saw the family enter and remain there late into evening, and saw them leave the house early the next morning for school. Establishment of residence must not be for the sole intent of attending free school in the district. (CONNORS and ODEN JOHNSON, concurring.)
