  4. Does the pupil attend a school within Illinois which meets Illinois compulsory attendance laws?
  5. Did the parent/guardian incur transportation expenses resulting from transporting the pupil to and from school?
  6. Did the pupil not have access to transportation to and from school provided entirely at public expense?
  7. Did the parent/guardian reside within Illinois during the time period expenses were incurred?
