Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Teachers' orders.
The school treasurer of any special
charter district having a population of less than 500,000 shall pay out no
funds of the district except on an order of the corporate authorities
thereof, signed by the president and clerk, or by a majority of the board.
When an order issued for the wages of any teacher or employee of such
district is presented to the treasurer and is not paid for want of funds,
the treasurer shall endorse it over his signature "not paid for want of
funds", with the date of presentation, and shall make and keep a record of
such endorsement. The order shall thereafter bear interest at the rate
established by the school board of the district, payable annually, not
exceeding the rate authorized from time to time under the Bond
Authorization Act until the treasurer of such district notifies the clerk
in writing that he has funds to pay it, and the treasurer shall keep a
record of such notices and hold the funds necessary to pay such order until
it is presented. The order shall draw no interest after notice
is given to the clerk. Orders presented within 10 days after the notice
is mailed to the clerk shall be payable in the numerical order of their
issuance.

105 ILCS 5/33-1
(105 ILCS 5/33-1) (from Ch. 122, par. 33-1)
Sec. 33-1. Board of Education - Election - Terms. In all school districts,
including special charter districts having a population of 100,000 and not
more than 500,000, which adopt this Article, as hereinafter provided, there
shall be maintained a system of free schools in charge of a board of education,
which shall be a body politic and corporate by the name of "Board of Education
of the City of....". The board shall consist of 7 members elected by the
voters of the district. Except as provided in Section 33-1b of this Act,
the regular election for members of the board shall be held at the consolidated election in odd numbered years and at the general primary election
in even numbered years. The law governing the registration of voters for
the primary election shall apply to the regular election. At the first
regular election 7 persons shall be elected as members of the board. The
person who receives the greatest number of votes shall be elected for a
term of 5 years. The 2 persons who receive the second and third greatest
number of votes shall be elected for a term of 4 years. The person who
receives the fourth greatest number of votes shall be elected
for a term of 3 years. The 2 persons who receive the fifth and sixth greatest
number of votes shall be elected for a term of 2 years. The person who
receives the seventh greatest number of votes shall be elected for a term
of 1 year. Thereafter, at each regular election for members of the board,
the successors of the members whose terms expire in the year of election
shall be elected for a term of 5 years. All terms shall commence on July
1 next succeeding the elections. Any vacancy occurring in the membership
of the board shall be filled by appointment until the next regular election
for members of the board.
In any school district which has adopted this Article, a proposition for
the election of board members by school board district rather than at large
may be submitted to the voters of the district at the regular school election
of any year in the manner provided in Section 9-22. If the proposition
is approved by a majority of those voting on the propositions, the board
shall divide the school district into 7 school board districts as provided
in Section 9-22. At the regular school election in the year following the
adoption of such proposition, one member shall be elected from each school
board district, and the 7 members so elected shall, by lot, determine one
to serve for one year, 2 for 2 years, one for 3 years, 2 for 4 years, and
one for 5 years. Thereafter their respective successors shall be elected
for terms of 5 years. The terms of all incumbent members expire July 1
of the year following the adoption of such a proposition.
Any school district which has adopted this Article may, by referendum in
accordance with Section 33-1a, adopt the method of electing members of the
board of education provided in that Section.
Reapportionment of the voting districts provided for in this Article or
created pursuant to a court order, shall be completed pursuant to
Section 33-1c.
A board of education may appoint a student to the board to serve in an advisory capacity. The student member shall serve for a term as determined by the board. The board may not grant the student member any voting privileges, but shall consider the student member as an advisor. The student member may not participate in or attend any executive session of the board.

Reapportionment of board voting districts.
In the year
following each decennial census, the Board of Education shall reapportion
the board voting districts to reflect the results of such census. The
board voting districts shall be compact, contiguous and have substantially
the same ratio of population to the total population of the school district
as the ratio of the board members elected from that board voting district
has to the total number of members of the Board of Education. The
reapportionment plan shall be completed and formally approved by a majority
of the members of the board not less than 90 days before the last date
established by law for the filing of nominating petitions for the second
school board election after the decennial census year. If by
reapportionment a board member no longer resides within the board voting
district from which the member was elected, the member shall continue to
serve in office until the expiration of the member's regular term. All new
members shall be elected from the board voting districts as reapportioned.
