Schools of Choice
Schools of Choice Section 105 of the State School Aid Act allows a local school district to enroll pupils from outside its district but within the intermediate district without obtaining a release from the resident district. Section 105c of the State School Aid Act allows a local school district to enroll pupils from outside its district and outside its ISD but within an ISD that is contiguous to the educating district's ISD without obtaining a release from the resident district.
