The student data collected in I-Star Plus serves as the approval process for students with disabilities who are claimed for reimbursement under Sections 14-7.02 (Private Tuition – Fund Code B) and (Public Tuition – Fund Code S), 14-7.02b (Students with Excess Cost – Fund Code X), 14-7.03 (Orphanage – Fund Codes D, E and F), and 14-13.01b (Special Transportation) of the School Code (105 ILCS 5) .  \nThe name of each student eligible for state reimbursement, even if only for part of the school year, must be enrolled in the Student Information System (SIS), and entered and approved in I-Star Plus before funding can be claimed. The level of payment is dependent upon the annual appropriations enacted each year.  \nDATA COLLECTION TIMELINES  \nISBE will collect all eligible student claims for the following programs and dates via I-Star Plus.  \nJune 15, 2026 Individual Orphanage Student Reimbursement claim  \n(Section 14-7.03 – Fund Codes D, E and F) 2025-26 Regular Term  \nJuly 15, 2026 Students with Excess Cost Reimbursement claim  \n(Section 14-7.02b – Fund Code X) 2025-26 Regular Term  \nAug. 14, 2026 Private Tuition Reimbursement claim  \n(Section 14-7.02 – Fund Code B) 2025-26 Regular and Summer Term  \nAug. 14, 2026 Public Tuition Reimbursement claim  \n(Section 14-7.02 – Fund Code S) 2025-26 Regular and Summer Term  \nNov. 2, 2026 Individual Orphanage Student Reimbursements claim  \n(Section 14-7.03 – Fund Codes D, E and F) 2026 Summer Term  \nNote: The final dates for entering a student reimbursement claim are statutory according to appropriate sections stated in the School Code ( 105 ILCS 5 ) .
