Tightened disability rules set for Illinois early intervention
Illinois and federal officials finalized new eligibility standards for early intervention services, raising the disability threshold from 25 to 40 percent. The change, backed by about 14 million dollars annually in federal funding, shifts which infants and toddlers qualify and reshapes administration with a central billing office and local entry points across communities including Homewood, Joliet, and Springfield.

South Suburban Schools Seek Waivers on PE and Nurse Hiring
Illinois boards review 63 legislative waiver requests this month and 105 last month, with six south suburban districts asking for PE schedule changes and nurse hiring waivers. Districts aim to reduce crowding and hire noncertified nurses, while others plan to teach on certain holidays rather than observe them. The General Assembly must approve or deny waivers by late October, with districts expanding the waiver program since 1995.
