Illinois Compiled Statutes 105 ILCS 5 School Code. Section 7-2.5

    (105 ILCS 5/7-2.5) (from Ch. 122, par. 7-2.5)

    Sec. 7-2.5. If no objection to the annexation or detachment of territory, prayed for in a petition under Section 7-2.4, is filed with the special charter school district or with the regional board of school trustees within 30 days after notice of the filing of such petition for annexation or detachment is given to each district affected, the annexation or detachment of territory takes effect, subject to Section 7-9 of this Act. However, if an objection to the proposed annexation or detachment of territory is filed with either the special charter district or the regional board of school trustees, the regional board of school trustees, within 15 days after receiving the objection, shall appoint 2 legal voters from the district or districts under their jurisdiction and involved in the proposed annexation or detachment of territory, subject to the approval of the boards of education of the districts affected, and the board or governing body of the special charter district shall appoint 2 legal voters from the special charter district. Those 4 appointees shall meet within 20 days of their appointment and by a majority vote select 3 persons who reside outside the jurisdiction of the districts affected by the proposed annexation or detachment of territory and who have a demonstrated interest and background in education. If a majority of the original 4 appointees cannot agree on the selection of the 3 additional members within 20 days of their appointment, the State Board of Education shall select the 3 additional persons, subject to the same criteria as required when selection is by the 4 appointees. The 4 appointees and the 3 additional persons selected under this Section constitute the Hearing Board and 4 members shall constitute a quorum.

    Within 10 days after the Hearing Board has been selected the regional superintendent of schools of the region in which the special charter district is located shall call an organization meeting of said Hearing Board.
