| 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.
