Illinois Texbook Relocation Program
Pursuant to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/18-17), “The
State Board of Education shall adopt appropriate regulations
to administer this Section and to facilitate the equitable
participation of all students eligible for benefits hereunder,
including the exchange, trade, or transfer of loaned secular
textbooks between schools or school districts for students
enrolled in such schools or districts.” In compliance
with this statute, the Illinois State Board of Education
operates a textbook relocation program.
The textbook relocation program guidelines are listed below.
- According to the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/18-17), “After
secular textbooks have been on loan under this Section for
a period of 5 years or more, such textbooks may be disposed
of by school districts in such a manner as their respective
school boards shall determine following a written notification
to the State Board of Education and expiration of a reasonable
waiting period not to exceed 30 days.” If you need
suggestions for donations or disposal, please contact the
Illinois Textbook Loan Program staff at 217/782-0734.
- Prior to June 1, the Illinois Textbook Relocation
Program will send an e-mail to all schools requesting submissions
for the textbook relocation program. Prior to August
1, schools
shall submit to ISBE all usable Illinois Textbook Loan
Program materials which are no longer being used. (Usable
textbooks
made available by a source other than the Illinois Textbook
Loan Program may be listed if the sending school makes
no charge for the textbooks.)
- The receiving school will be responsible for all transportation
arrangements and shipping costs.
- Below is an EXCEL spreadsheet attachment for textbook
relocation for the current fiscal year. The school contact
