| IL | Adopted 09/2006 | P-12 | New section (p 243 of 405 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume30_issue41.pdf) institutes a requirement that districts electronically report information used in determining whether teachers can be considered "highly qualified"
for their assignments in the core academic subject areas.
New section 1.242 (p 244 of 405 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume30_issue41.pdf) conveys the due process requirements that are applicable when districts elect to deny enrollment to high school students for failure to maintain academic or attendance standards, as permitted by Public Act 93-803.
Sections 1.420 and 1.430 (pp 244-254 of 405 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume30_issue41.pdf) have been updated to acknowledge that, under Public Act 94-198, physical education is not required daily in cases of block scheduling.
Language has been inserted into Section 1.720 (pp 254-258 of 405 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume30_issue41.pdf) to clarify the long-standing policy that the "major field of teaching assignment" is the one in which a (middle-grades) teacher spends
the most time and is thus the field in which the teacher is generally required to have 18 semester hours of credit.

A formal hearing and appeals process must be implemented by local school boards to address enrollment or re-enrollment denials. The bill does not mandate that enrollment or re-enrollment be denied. Limits the grounds for denial of enrollment or re-enrollment to: (a) a student's expulsion from any school district in this state or any other state during the preceding twelve months; or (b) a student's behavior in another school district in this state or any other state during the preceding twelve months that is detrimental to the welfare or safety of other students or school personnel. In Section F, this bill further provides that a local board may establish additional enrollment preferences for admitting students in the second and third priorities of enrollment, including (1) after school care for students; (2) child care for siblings of students attending the public school; (3) children of employees at the public school; (4) extreme hardship; (5) location of a student's previous school; (6) siblings of students already attending the public school; and (7) student safety.
