Illinois law requires that all students entering an early childhood program, kindergarten, sixth, or ninth grades, or transferring from out of state have a physical examination within one calendar year prior to the date of entry. The examination must include a complete immunization record and medical history. Students transferring from another Illinois school must present copies of their current Illinois health records. A Certificate of Child Health Examination, signed by a physician, must be on file before the first day of school for the school year.
Section 27-8.1 of the Illinois School Code states: "If a child does not comply…then
the local school authority shall exclude that child from school until such time as the
child presents proof of having had either the health examination or those required
immunizations which are medically possible to receive immediately."
Public Act 93-946 requires "all Illinois children in kindergarten, second and sixth
grades to have an oral health exam. A Proof of School Dental Examination Form,
signed by a licensed dentist, must be on file before May 15th for the school year."
Illinois state law requires that "all children enrolling in kindergarten in a public,
private or parochial school and any student enrolling for the first time in a public,
private or parochial school shall have an eye examination."
