Illinois HB3247 prohibits denying free public education to children based on immigration status.

HB3247 amends the School Code to ensure no child in Illinois is denied a free public education through secondary school based on their or their associated person's citizenship or immigration status. The bill prohibits schools from excluding children from programs or activities based on actual or perceived immigration status. It also mandates that schools must not allow immigration agents to enter school premises without valid identification, a written statement of purpose, and a valid judicial warrant, and approval from the school district superintendent or charter school principal.
