District 90 offers a continuum of services for any River Forest student who may qualify for services under Section 504 or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under either provision, District 90 supports the intent of the federal and state mandates to meet student needs in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) for those who meet eligibility requirements. We also provide an Inclusive Preschool Program for children, beginning at age 3. If your child attends a school in District 90, please contact one of the staff members listed below.
The process to apply for the 2020-21 Inclusion Preschool is closed. Families that have already applied for placement in the 2020-21 Inclusion Preschool will be notified about the acceptance decision on or about March 21, 2020. Please see the materials below for additional information about the District 90 Inclusion Preschool.

Private, Parochial, & Home-Schooled Students
In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (“IDEA 2004”), public school districts are required to spend a portion of their Federal Part B special education funds to provide identified students with disabilities who attend private schools with the opportunity to equitably participate in special education services offered by their district. As part of that process, we must conduct a public meeting in order to discuss our plans to fulfill that responsibility for the upcoming school year. In addition, we wish to hear your feedback and views in order to ensure that your voices are heard during this process. Finally, we also want to share information about how students with suspected disabilities can access the process offered by our district to screen and evaluate those suspected disabling conditions.
More information about the Timely & Meaningful Consultation can be shared by emailing Denise Matthews at [email protected] or call 708-771-8282.
