Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 In Illinois, as in all of the states, the Beckett law is in effect. However, it is left up to each state how they interpret it. In Illinois, it is applied in such a way where one is basically, destitute. So we don't qualify. In Cal. it is applied differently. Might be worth it to move! barb --- Jerri Gann <njgann@...> wrote: > > Thanks everyone! I have to go on a training weekend > for all parents > going on the 4th grade field trip this year.
