| GA | Adopted 07/2010 | P-12 | Rule 160-4-8-.12, "Alternative Education Programs" has been repealed and a new rule adopted. Defines "alternative/non-traditional education program" as a program operating in affiliation with a school; a program does not report full-time equivalent (FTE) or receive an Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) designation. Achievement data for students enrolled in the program are reported back to the school where the student is reported for FTE. Provides a program may be housed within a school, on the same site or at a different location. Provides that programs may include Attendance Recovery, Credit Recovery, Disciplinary Program, Early College, Evening School, and Open Campus.
Clarifies that an "Alternative/Non-traditional Education School" has an official school code and serves as the home school for students enrolled. The school receives an AYP designation; reports FTE counts for all enrolled students; and earns Quality Basic Education (QBE) formula funds directly. Defines "Community-based Alternative Education/Non-traditional Program" as a type of alternative education/non-traditional program where students are engaged in educationally relevant and meaningful learning experiences in the school and larger community. The academic curriculum is integrated into work-based learning and structured work experiences using partnerships among business, industry, government, community and school, including Performance Learning Centers. Defines "sparsity grant" as a grant provided to each LEA that is unable to offer its students or a portion of its students educational programs and services comparable to those which are typically being offered to students in the state; the inability to offer students comparable programs and services is attributable, at least in part, to the fact that the LEA has full-time equivalent counts less than base size specified in state law.
Requires each LEA to provide an alternative/non-traditional education program/school for students in grades 6-12 with appropriate due process, who have been suspended from his/her regular classroom. Permits LEAs to provide an alternative/non-traditional education program/school to serve a student who is eligible to remain in his/her regular classroom but is more likely to succeed in a non-traditional educational setting. Authorizes an LEA to provide an alternative/non-traditional education program/school jointly with one or more LEAs. Authorizes an LEA to contract with educational management organizations to provide a non-traditional/alternative education program/school. Sets requirements/parameters for such contracts. Permits an LEA to use sparsity grant funds for all alternative/non-traditional education program(s)/school(s), but specifies that funds must be used exclusively for salaries and benefits for certified positions and assistants/paraprofessionals working in the program/school. Requires that all alternative/non-traditional education programs/schools only provide curriculum aligned to Georgia Performance Standards (GPS); permits curriculum to be delivered through computer-assisted instruction and online courses. Requires that programs/schools participate in state testing program, provide counseling services, operate in full compliance with federal and state laws and state board rules governing special education students and students with special needs, provide teachers that meet the requirements of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission in all classes, adhere to maximum class size provisions, and allocate to all Alternative/Non-traditional Education Programs/Schools the same expenditure per segment(s) based on what the student earns at his or her Full Time Equivalent reporting school, including federal and state funds allocated to the LEA for the student.
For students in grades 9-12, permits LEAs to (1) award course credit based on demonstrated competency on course examination(s) for course work completed while enrolled in the program/school in lieu of the 150/135 clock hours of instruction and (2) determine the length of the school day in lieu of the school day length set in state board rule.
Establishes reporting requirements for alternative/non-traditional education programs/schools. Requires each LEA to maintain and annually report to the state department of education on each alternative/non-traditional education program/school. Requires each program/school school improvement plan to demonstrate how the alternative/non-traditional education program/school modified SBOE rules, including methods to measure competency as well as what is defined as a full school day. Requires LEAs to seek parental and public input before submitting a program/school's improvement plan to the department of education. http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/_documents/doe/legalservices/160-4-8-.12.pdf

| IL | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Increases statewide charter school cap and charter school cap for Chicago. Above and beyond caps, permits five Chicago charters (and specified numbers of campuses and enrollment seats within those five charters) to be devoted to serving returning high school dropouts. Requires charter schools to submit to the state board of education a copy of their audit and Form 990. Increases time frame for state board to approve a charter school proposal. Adds procedures for a charter school to respond to a proposed revocation of its charter. Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, requires at least 75% of instructional staff in established charter schools to hold teacher certification; for charter schools established after these provisions are enacted, requires 75% of instructional staff to be certified by the beginning of the 4th school year in which students are enrolled in the school. Provides charter schools statewide are exempt from caps on the number of employees who may be enrolled in alternative certification programs. Requires state board to report findings of charter school evaluation every two years rather than annually. Establishes an Independent Charter School Authorizer Task Force to study the need for an independent charter school authorizer in the state. Directs the task force to report its findings and recommendations to the governor and legislature by January 2010.
Defines "contract school" as a Chicago attendance center run by a for- or not-for-profit private entity on contract to provide instructional and other services to a majority of the students enrolled in the attendance center. Defines "contract turnaround school" as an experimental Chicago contract school created to implement alternative governance in an attendance center subject to restructuring or similar intervention under NCLB that has not made adequate yearly progress (AYP) for 5 consecutive years. Provides that a Chicago school placed on probation that fails to make adequate progress in correcting deficiencies after one year may be converted to a contract turnaround school. Specifies the Chicago school board may operate no more than 30 contract schools, plus up to 5 contract turnaround schools. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/96/SB/PDF/09600SB0612lv.pdf

| IL | Signed into law 08/2007 | P-12 | Adds to provisions allowing a local board of education to contract with a third party for non-instructional services currently performed by any employee or bargaining unit member or to lay off such educational support personnel. Extends date of written notice that must be given such employees from 30 to 90 days. Provides that a contract must not become effective during the term of a collective bargaining agreement covering such employees. Provides that any third party submitting a bid to perform the non-instructional services must provide evidence of:
--liability insurance equivalent to that provided by the school board
--a benefits package comparable to that provided by the school board
--the number, job classifications and wages of employees who will provide the non-instructional services
--a minimum 3-year cost projection, using generally accepted accounting principles and which the third party is prohibited from increasing if the bid is accepted by the school board, for all expenditure categories and account for performing the non-instructional services
--composite information about the criminal and disciplinary records of any employees who may perform the non-instructional services
--a notarized affadavit that each of the bidder's employees has completed a criminal background check within 3 months prior to submission of the bid.
Provides that the local board may not enter into a contract unless the school board provides a cost comparison, using generally accepted accounting principles, of all expenditure categories and accounts that the board projects it would incur over the term of the contract if it continued to perform the non-instructional services using its own employees with all expenditure categories and accounts that a third party would incur if a third party performed the non-instructional services.
Provides the review and consideration of all bids by third parties to perform the non-instructional services must take place in open session of a regularly scheduled school board meeting, unless specified circumstances are met.
Provides the school board must conduct at least one public hearing prior to a regularly scheduled school board meeting, to discuss the school board's proposal to contract with a third party to perform the non-instructional services before the school board may enter into such a contract.
Provides a contract must require the contractor to offer available employee positions within the contract to qualified school district employees
whose employment is terminated because of the contract. Also provides a contract must require the contractor to comply with a policy of nondiscrimination and
equal employment opportunity for all persons and to take affirmative steps to provide equal opportunity for all persons.
Authorizes a local board, the above provisions notwithstanding, to enter into a maximum 3-month contract with a third party for non-instructional
services currently performed by an employee or bargaining unit member in order to augment the current workforce in an emergency situation that threatens the safety or health of district students or staff, provided that the school board meets all of its obligations under the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act.
