Section 50.200  Implementation Requirements

a)         A school district, in conjunction with the joint committee established under Section 24A-4(b) of the School Code, shall be required to adopt those specific aspects of the State model contained in this Subpart C regarding data and indicators of student growth about which the joint committee is unable to agree within 180 calendar days after the date on which the joint committee held its first meeting. 

b)         The first meeting of a joint committee shall occur no later than November 1 of the school year immediately preceding the school district's implementation date specified in Section 24A-2.5 of the School Code (see Section 50.20).  For purposes of this subsection (b), the 180-day deadline set forth in subsection (a) does not preclude the members of the joint committee from meeting, either as a committee or with other administrators and teachers, provided that the district representatives and the union representatives on the joint committee formally agree to the date on which the 180-day clock will begin.

c)         The requirements of this Subpart C do not apply to CPS, except that the district's joint committee may meet to discuss student growth without triggering its 90-day clock for action, provided the procedures set forth in subsection (b) are followed.
