Illinois S.B. 3515
School Board Business, Conflicts of Interest
Allows a school treasurer to pay recurring bills upon certification by the clerk or secretary of the school board (instead of requiring an order of the school board signed by the president and clerk or secretary or by a majority of the board). Makes changes to when the record of the official acts of the school board must be submitted to the treasurer. Regarding the prohibition on a school board member having an interest in district contracts, work, business or sales, provides that a school board member must not be deemed interested if the board member is an employee of a business that is involved in the transaction of business with the school district, provided that the board member has no financial interests other than as an employee. Provides that a school board member's oath of office must be administered as determined by the board. Provides that a school board may authorize by policy (rather than by regulation) the superintendent, principal, assistant principal or dean of students to suspend pupils. Provides that a school board must be given a summary of the notice of a parent's right to a review of the suspension, including the reason for the suspension and the suspension length (instead of a copy of the full statement of the reasons for the suspension and the notice of the parent's right to a review).
