8th Grade transition for students currently residing in D230 boundaries, and attending the public school within the boundaries:

As District 230 continues to streamline processes based on feedback from families, the district will again use the CLEAR public database to automatically verify student address information. This process is an efficient way to assure that students enrolled in our schools are residents of the District 230 community. The annual residency verification process safeguards district resources for taxpayers and is convenient for families.
