(105 ILCS 5/7-7) (from Ch. 122, par. 7-7)
Sec. 7-7. Administrative Review Law. The decision of the regional board of school trustees, or the decision of the regional boards of school trustees following a joint hearing, or the decision of the State Superintendent of Education in cases determined pursuant to subsection (l) of Section 7-6, shall be deemed an "administrative decision" as defined in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure; and any resident who appears at the hearing or any petitioner or board of education of any district affected may within 35 days after a copy of the decision sought to be reviewed was served by registered mail upon the party affected thereby file a complaint for a judicial review of such decision in accordance with the Administrative Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant thereto. The commencement of any action for judicial review shall operate as a stay of enforcement, and no further proceedings shall be had until final disposition of such review. If the transcript of the hearing is required to be presented to another county board of school trustees the time within which a complaint for review must be filed shall not begin to run until the decision of the regional board of school trustees hearing the petition has been granted or denied by the regional board of school trustees conducting a hearing on the transcript. The circuit court of the county in which the petition is filed with the regional board of school trustees shall have sole jurisdiction to entertain a complaint for such review when only one regional board of school trustees must act; however, when the regional boards of school trustees act following a joint hearing, the circuit court of the county in which the joint hearing on the original petition is conducted shall have sole jurisdiction of the complaint for such review.
