| IL | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | Repeals the provision concerning the Illinois Accessibility Task Force. Also provides that a school board does not have to comply with the Illinois Accessibility Code with respect to accessibility to press boxes that are on school property if the press boxes are in bleachers that have points of entry at only one level, and the aggregate area of the press box is no more than 500 square feet (instead of if the press boxes were constructed before August 25, 2009). http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0355.pdf

| IL | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | Very similar to S.B. 620 (http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/97/SB/PDF/09700SB0620lv.pdf). Differs from S.B. 620 in definition of "school action" by excluding from definition reassignment due to a new
school with an attendance area boundary and that is made to relieve overcrowding. Also creates different fiscal transparency requirements than those created in S.B. 620. S.B. 630 requires that for fiscal year 2012, the chief executive officer provide the Chicago school board with an annual capital expenditure report within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year, to be posted to the district Web site. It also requires that for fiscal year 2013 and thereafter, the chief executive officer provide the board with an annual capital expenditure report with the same specifications as the one S.B. 620 calls for after the bill goes into effect (not phased in, as in S.B. 630). In section regarding contents of a school transition plan, requires that school transition plans include "informational briefings" (rather than "counseling" as in S.B. 620) to provide parents and children with pertinent information to make an informed choice. Clarifies that the chief executive officer publish notice of the proposed school actions each year, rather than by December 2011, as required in S.B. 620, though both require annual posting of proposed school actions to be taken at the close of the current academic year by December 1 of each year. Provides that no Chicago school board decision regarding a proposed school action may take place less than 60 days after the announcement of the proposed school action. Requires the chief executive officer to publish a brief summary of the proposed school actions and the date, time, and place of the hearings or meetings in a newspaper of general circulation. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0474.pdf

Directs the district to develop a capital needs review process and 1-year and 5-year capital improvement plans. By January 1, 2012, requires the chief executive officer or designee to establish a capital needs review process that includes a comprehensive bi-annual assessment of the capital needs at each facility owned, leased or operated by the district. Requires that, beginning with fiscal year 2013 and each year thereafter, the chief executive officer publish a proposed one-year capital improvement plan at least 60 days before the end of the prior fiscal year. Requires that the one-year capital improvement plan include specified information for all capital projects for which funds are to be appropriated. Directs the Chicago school board to adopt a final one-year capital improvement plan within 45 days after adopting the annual budget. Beginning with fiscal year 2013, directs the chief executive officer to publish a proposed 5-year capital improvement plan with the proposed one-year capital improvement plan, and requires the 5-year capital improvement plan to be assessed annually. Requires that an annual report be published explaining differences between projected capital projects in the 5-year capital improvement plan and the capital projects authorized in the proposed one-year capital improvement plan for the following fiscal year. Requires that the 5-year plan be published on the district's Web site and distributed to all principals.
Requires the chief executive officer to provide the Chicago board with an annual capital expenditure report within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year, and for the report to be published on the district's Web site. Requires that the annual capital expenditure report include specified information. Requires that a list of all property owned by or leased to the Chicago school board be published on the district's Web site by January 1, 2012, and that the information be updated annually. Requires that all lease agreements in which the Chicago school board is a lessor or lessee be published on the district's Web site for the duration of the lease, and requires specified information about lease agreements to be published to the Web site.
Provides that if the Board approves a school action, the chief executive officer or designee must work with local school educators and families of students attending the affected school to ensure successful integration of affected students into new learning environments. Requires the chief executive officer or designee to develop a school transition plan, and to identify and commit specific resources for implementation of the plan for at least the first full academic year after the board approves a school action. Requires that a school transition plan include specified components, including options to enroll in higher performing schools, and counseling on the choice of schools, including all information a parent and child need to make an informed choice. Requires the chief academic officer to annually publish guidelines for school actions, outlining the academic and non-academic criteria for a school action. Outlines processes for providing notice of proposed school actions and providing public hearings. Provides that if the chief executive officer does not follow the statutory mandates for proposing a school action, the proposed school action cannot be approved by the Chicago school board during the school year in which the school action was proposed.
Provides that nothing in these provisions prevents the district from taking emergency action to protect the health and safety of students and staff in an attendance center.
Directs the Chicago Educational Facilities Task Force, after recommendations have been issued, to meet at least once annually to review Chicago's compliance with the aforementioned statutory provisions concerning school action and facility master planning. Directs the task force to prepare a report on how the district has met the school action and facility master planning provisions. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0473.pdf

Postsec. | Sections 9.33 to 9.335: Makes certain provisions related to a public authority's contracting for construction (that are already applicable to school districts) applicable to any state institution of higher education. Defines "construction manager at risk" as a person with substantial discretion and authority to plan, coordinate, manage, direct and construct all phases of a project for the construction, demolition, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any public building, structure or other improvement and who provides the public authority a guaranteed maximum price.

In provisions related to negotiating with a construction manager or a construction manager at risk, specifies that nothing affects a public authority's right to accept or reject any or all proposals in whole or in part. Creates similar provisions for a public authority's selection of a construction manager at risk; requires among other provisions that the contract negotiations be directed toward agreeing upon a procedure and schedule for determining a guaranteed maximum price using an open book pricing method that must represent the total maximum amount to be paid by the public authority to the construction manager at risk for the project. Requires a construction manager at risk to provide a surety bond to the public authority before beginning construction.
Section 153.01: Releases from specified requirements any construction management contract entered into with a construction manager at risk, or a design-build contract entered into with a design-build firm as described in section 153.693. Increases the minimum cost of a project that would trigger reporting requirements of 153.01 from $50,000 to $200,000, or the amount determined pursuant to 153.53.
Section 153.02: Specifies that the director of administrative services may debar a contractor on the director's own initiative or upon request of the Ohio school facilities commission.

| OH | Signed into law 06/2011 | P-12 | Specifies actions after which a district capital project must be considered complete and the Ohio school facilities commission must issue a certificate of completion to the district board of education. Permits the commission to issue a certificate of completion to a district board prior to the satisfaction of all of the conditions specified in legislation, if the commission determines that the circumstances preventing the conditions from being satisfied are sufficiently minor. Permits the commission to issue a certificate of completion to a district board that does not voluntarily participate in the process of closing out the district's project, if the construction manager for the project verifies that all facilities to be constructed, as specified in the project agreement, have been completed and the commission determines that those facilities have
been occupied for at least one year. In that case, requires all funds due to the commission be returned within 30 days after receipt of the certificate of completion. If the funds due to the commission have not been
returned within 60 days after receipt of the certificate of completion, the auditor of state must issue a finding for recovery against the school district and must request legal action. Specifies that upon issuance of a certificate of completion, the commission's ownership of and interest in the project ceases.
Creates the corrective action program to provide funding for the correction of certain publicly-funded work that is found after occupancy of the facility to be defective or to have been omitted. Directs the commission to establish procedures and deadlines for school districts to follow in applying for assistance. Identifies procedures if the the work to be corrected or remediated is part of a project not yet completed. Requires districts to contribute a portion of the cost of the corrective action, regardless of whether the project is completed.
