| CARBONDALE COM HIGH SCHL v. HERRIN COM UNIT SCHL - rec'd 03/15/99 |
 | | Carbondale argues that the language of the tuition statute is plain and unequivocal and does not provide an exception for expelled youths. |
 | | Carbondale argues, rather, that the intent of the legislature is the provision of educational services to those youths who are in residential treatment, not the preclusion of those services, and that Herrin's interpretation would render the tuition statute a nullity. |
 | | Herrin, in its reply, notes that Carbondale's approach would end up costing the expelling school district more from tuition than it would to keep the offender in school and that, accordingly, expulsion should be the "otherwise provided for" aspect of educational service. |
