Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
School Code
Plaintiff filed action to enjoin school district from enforcing policy requiring her daughter to complete 6 hours of community service for each year of attendance in public high school as prerequisite to graduation. Section 27-22 of School Code allows local school districts freedom to add additional requirements for graduation based on needs of students and community. Regulations allow local school board to adopt reasonable service learning program as graduation requirement. Requirement is not unreasonable, onerous, or unduly burdensome making it akin to involuntary servitude. (POPE and TURNER, concurring.)
