Appellants reside with their son, Anthony, in the Pekin District. Anthony became dissatisifed with his school experience and threatened to drop out rather than return there. Appellants asked the superintendent about open enrollment and was told that it was "too late." When Anthony's new school contacted Pekin for his records was the first time the superintendent was aware of his move to another school.

Appellants applied for open enrollment sometime in late August and was denied in September 1994. After June 30th, the good cause conditions are no longer operative and a late application can only be granted through the use of the State Board's "extraordinary power" under subsection 20.

Although it is clear that Anthony became dissatisfied with his school experience, his situation does not warrant a departure from the statutory deadlines pertaining to open enrollment application. The stated reasons did not constitute "good cause" nor "cry out for" the exercise of the State Board's extraordinary power under subsection 20.

That the decision of the Pekin Board of Directors denying Anthony Hadley's open enrollment request was affirmed.
