| IL | Adopted 11/2009 | P-12 | Partially from "Notice of Adopted Amendments" in Illinois Register (changes from this rulemaking but not listed below are technical in nature or echo recent changes in legislation):
Section 1.20: Revised to distinguish among the appropriate levels of sign-off on the corrective plan a district must submit depending on whether a school or the district has been placed on probation. Adds a provision allowing a district's or school's status to be changed to "nonrecognized" if, at any time that a corrective action plan is in effect, the state superintendent determines that the agreed-upon actions are not being implemented in accordance with the plan or the underlying areas of noncompliance are not being remedied.
Section 1.30: Updated to refer to state assessment accommodations now allowed for limited English proficient students, and now specifies when time extensions will be made available to those students (in response to P.A. 94-642, which authorized the state board to allow additional time "by rule"). Revises labels used to describe scores on the Illinois Alternate Assessment, and updates rule on review and verification of assessment information.
Section 1.100: Adds details so that staff of districts and other eligible applicants will have more specific guidance as to what is expected as part of the process for receiving waivers and modifications of requirements in the school code or administrative rules.
Section 1.240: Expanded to include a reference to gender identity among the prohibited bases for discrimination because it may otherwise not be clear that gender identity is encompassed in the definition of "sexual orientation".
Section 1.420: Adds provision specifying that each district's plan for recording student progress and/or awarding credit must include credit for courses completed by correspondence, online or from other external sources. Specifies that a district may count four clock-hours as a day of instruction only due to a condition beyond the district's control; specifies other requirements that must be met for the state superintendent to approve a district's request to use "multiple sessions" to fulfill school day requirements. Specifies that students in attendance for at least 150 but fewer than 240 minutes of school work may be counted for a half-day of attendance; students in attendance for fewer than 150 minutes of school work are not to be counted for purposes of calculating average daily attendance. Emphasizes the meaning of the portion of the rule on library media programs that distinguishes between the services that may be performed only by certified library information specialists and the other tasks that may be inherent in districts' operation of their programs.
Section 1.465 (on awarding of credit for foreign language study in an ethnic school program) and 1.480 (on correctional institution educational programs): Generally updated, including the insertion of current statutory citations.
Section 1.510: Main revision conveys state board's interpretation that districts may not pick and choose among students in the same situation once they elect to transport some students.
Section 1.737: Updated to complement new requirements for endorsements in safety and driver education that will take effect in 2012.

| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | New Chapter 3306.: As described in the bill analysis by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission (LSC), "The bill enacts a new R.C. Chapter 3306., and revises many other existing codified laws, to establish a new system of financing for school districts and other public entities that provide primary and secondary education. A detailed analysis of the current and proposed school funding systems is available in the LSC Redbook for the Department of Education, published on the LSC Web site at http://www.lsc.state.oh.us/budgetdocuments.html From DOE summary of H.B. 1: Also permits school districts to use state funds provided under the school funding formula for the modification or purchase of classroom space to provide all-day kindergarten or reduce class sizes in grades K-3 if those funds are not specifically allocated for another purpose and the district certifies to the department its need for additional space.
Section 3306.011: Requires that payments under the evidence-based model replace the former method of allocating funds to districts, beginning in FY 2010.
Section 3306.012: Specifies that the SF-3, the department of education form formerly used to calculate funding to a school district, after the effective date of this section will be known as the "PASS form", PASS being an acronym for "PAthway to Student Success". Requires the form to be available to the public in a format understandable to the average citizen.
Section 3306.02: Establishes certain definitions for funding purposes:
--"Building manager": Individual who supervises the administrative (non-curricular, non-instructional) functions of school operation so that a school principal can focus on supporting instruction, providing instructional leadership, and engaging teachers as part of the instructional leadership team. Specifies that a building manager is not required to be a licensed educator.
--"Category one ..." through "category six special education ADM", with category one being low-need students and category six being highest-need students.
--"Counselor": A licensed individual who provides pre-college and career counseling, general academic counseling, course planning and other counseling services that are not related to a student's individualized education plan.
--"Lead teacher": A teacher who provides mentoring and coaching for new teachers, and who also assists in coordinating professional development activities, developing professional learning communities and common planning time, and who assists teachers in developing project-based, real-world learning activities. Requires that the lead teacher position be a rotating position in which an individual serves no more than 3 years. Provides that, once lead teacher licenses become available under Section 3319.22, only teachers who hold such licensure may be appointed as lead teachers. Until that time, directs each district to designate qualifications for the lead teacher position and give preference for the position to national board-certified teachers or who meet the qualifications for a "master teacher" established by the educator standards board.
--"Ohio educational challenge factor": An index to adjust each district's funding amount to account for student and community socioeconomic factors affecting teacher recruitment and retention, professional development, and other factors related to quality instruction. Provides each district's challenge factor includes the district's college attainment rate, per-pupil wealth, and concentration of poverty (see new section 3306.051).
--"Organizational unit": Unit used to index a district's formula ADM in certain grade levels. In recognition of the fact that students have different educational needs at each developmental stage, organizational units group the grade levels into elementary school units, middle school units, and high school units. A district's "organizational units" is the sum of its elementary, middle and high school units.
Section 3306.051: Specifies that the Ohio educational challenge factor is based on:
(1) The college attainment rate of the school district's population
(2) The district's wealth per pupil, based on property valuation and federal adjusted gross income
(3) The district's concentration of poverty, based on its targeted poverty indicator.
Establishes each district's Ohio educational challenge factor for FY 2010 and 2011.

Section 3306.25: Directs the state superintendent to adopt rules prescribing standards for the expenditure of funds under the school finance system as revised by H.B. 1, and for the reporting of expenditures of those funds for particular funded components, so that funds are directed toward the purposes for which they were calculated. Specifies that rules regarding reporting standards under the following components shall not take effect before July 2010; rules regarding spending standards shall not take effect before July 2011. Directs the superintendent to determine the funded components included in the three categories of:
(1) Core academic strategy components, i.e., those components fundamental to successful education practices in the 21st century for all students. [From DOE summary of H.B. 1:] Specifies that the superintendent's rules for spending and reporting of components in the core academic strategy components must provide flexibility in determining how to spend funds, depending on the district's current performance rating, instead of merely requiring flexibility for "effective" and "excellent" districts. Specifies that the higher the rating, the greater the flexibility the rules must provide, and that districts rated "excellent" or "excellent with distinction" are not subject to spending rules (except to the all-day kindergarten requirements), but are subject to reporting rules.
(2) Academic improvement components, i.e., components that have been demonstrated to make the greatest improvement in the academic achievement of underperforming students. Specifies that rules adopted for academic improvement components must prescribe spending and reporting standards, but that these will apply only to districts in "academic emergency" or "academic watch" for two or more consecutive years.
(3) Other components. Specifies that these rules will prescribe only reporting and not spending requirements or standards, but will be applicable to all school districts.

Provides that if the interim financial data substantiates the projected deficit, the district must develop a financial plan to submit to the agency for approval. Provides the agency may approve the plan only if the agency determines the plan will permit the district to avoid the projected insolvency. Requires the commissioner to assign a district an "accredited-warned" status if the district fails to submit a financial plan to the agency, fails to obtain agency approval for a plan, fails to comply with an agency-approved plan, or the agency determines in a subsequent school year, based on financial data submitted by the district, that the approved plan for the district is no longer sufficient or is not appropriately implemented.
Adds new Section 39.084, "Posting of Adopted Budget". Directs a district, upon the board of trustee's final approval of the budget, to post a copy of the adopted budget to the district Web site.
