Questions or concerns should be directed to the Regional, District & School Leadership Department at (217) 785-9998. An application for initial recognition may be submitted at any time; however, applications received late in the school year will be held until the next school year. Please ensure you have the latest version of this form from [https://www.isbe.net/nonpublicprograms](https://www.isbe.net/nonpublicprograms).  \nA decision to assign recognition to a nonpublic school is based on the following steps (see 23 Ill. Admin. Code 425.50):  \n1. The following pages must be completed fully by responding to each item in one of the following ways:  \na. “Yes” indicates the school meets the requirements for that item. A brief statement indicating where the evidence of compliance may be found (e.g. , “Board policy manual,” “Student files,” “laboratory,” etc. ) must be supplied in the space provided.  \nb. “No” indicates the school does not meet the requirements for that item. Any item marked “No” must be resolved prior to the compliance visit.  \nc. “N/A” indicates the item does not apply to the school.  \n2. After an application has been deemed complete and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, a compliance visit will be scheduled. At some point after the compliance visit has concluded, ISBE will review all applicable information and make a determination whether the school shall be issued recognition status.  \nThis application may be completed electronically and then printed for signature or may be printed and then completed and signed.
