    AN ACT concerning education.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly: 






 
    Section 5. The School Code is amended  by changing Sections 
10-20.12 and 27-8.1 as follows:
 



    (105 ILCS 5/10-20.12)  (from Ch. 122, par. 10-20.12)



    Sec. 10-20.12. School year - School age. To establish and 
keep in
operation in each year during a school term of at least 
the minimum length
required by Section 10-19, a sufficient 
number of free schools for the
accommodation of all persons in 
the district who are 5 years of age or
older but under 21 years 
of age, and to secure for all such persons the
right and 
opportunity to an equal education in such schools; provided 
that (i)
children who will attain the age of 5 years on or 
before September 1 of the
year of the 1990-1991 school term and 
each school term thereafter may
attend school upon the 
commencement of such term and (ii) based upon an assessment of 
the child's readiness, children who have attended a non-public 
preschool and continued their education at that school through 
kindergarten, were taught in kindergarten by an appropriately 
certified teacher, and  will attain the age of 6 years on or 
before December 31 of the year of the 2009-2010 school term and 
each school term thereafter may attend first grade upon 
commencement of such term. However, Section 33 of the 
Educational Opportunity for Military Children Act  shall apply 
to children of active duty military personnel.  Based upon an 
assessment
of a child's readiness to attend school, a school 
district may permit a
child to attend school prior to the dates 
contained in this Section. In any
school district operating on 
a full year school basis children who will
attain age 5 within 
30 days after the commencement of a term may attend
school upon 
the commencement of such term and, based upon an assessment of 
the child's readiness, children who have attended a non-public 
preschool and continued their education at that school through 
kindergarten, were taught in kindergarten by an appropriately 
certified teacher, and will attain age 6 within 4 months after 
the commencement of a term may attend first grade upon the 
commencement of such term.  The school district may, by

resolution of its board, allow for a full year school plan.

    (105 ILCS 5/27-8.1)  (from Ch. 122, par. 27-8.1)
    Sec. 27-8.1. Health examinations and immunizations. 
    (1) In compliance with rules and regulations which the 
Department of Public
Health shall promulgate, and except as 
hereinafter provided, all children in
Illinois shall have a 
health examination as follows: within one year prior to

entering kindergarten or the first grade of any public, 
private, or parochial
elementary school; upon entering the 
sixth and ninth grades of any public,
private, or parochial 
school; prior to entrance into any public, private, or

parochial nursery school; and, irrespective of grade, 
immediately prior to or
upon entrance into any public, private, 
or parochial school or nursery school,
each child shall present 
proof of having been examined in accordance with this
Section 
and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder. Any child 
who received a health examination within one year prior to 
entering the fifth grade for the 2007-2008 school year is not 
required to receive an additional health examination in order 
to comply with the provisions of Public Act 95-422 when he or 
she attends school for the 2008-2009 school year, unless the 
child is attending school for the first time as provided in 
this paragraph. 
    A tuberculosis skin test screening shall be included as a 
required part of
each health examination included under this 
Section if the child resides in an
area designated by the 
Department of Public Health as having a high incidence
of 
tuberculosis.  Additional health examinations of pupils, 
including eye examinations, may be required when deemed 
necessary by school
authorities.  Parents are encouraged to have 
their children undergo eye examinations at the same points in 
time required for health
examinations.
    (1.5)  In compliance with rules adopted by the Department of 
Public Health and except as otherwise provided in this Section, 
all children in kindergarten and the second and sixth grades of 
any public, private, or parochial school shall have a dental 
examination.  Each of these children shall present proof of 
having been examined by a dentist in accordance with this 
Section and rules adopted under this Section before May 15th of 
the school year.  If a child in the second or sixth grade fails 
to present proof by May 15th, the school may hold the child's 
report card until one of the following occurs:  (i) the child 
presents proof of a completed dental examination or (ii) the 
child presents proof that a dental examination will take place 
within 60 days after May 15th.  The Department of Public Health 
shall establish, by rule, a waiver for children who show an 
undue burden or a lack of access to a dentist.  Each public, 
private, and parochial school must give notice of this dental 
examination requirement to the parents and guardians of 
students at least 60 days before May 15th of each school year.

    (1.10)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, all 
children enrolling in kindergarten in a public, private, or 
parochial school on or after the effective date of this 
amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly and any student 
enrolling for the first time in a  public, private, or parochial 
school on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 
the 95th General Assembly shall have an eye examination.  Each 
of these children shall present proof of having been examined 
by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its 
branches or a  licensed optometrist within the previous year,  in 
accordance with this Section and rules adopted under this 
Section, before October  15th of the school year.  If the  child 
fails to present proof by October  15th, the school may hold the 
child's report card until one of the following occurs:  (i) the 
child presents proof of a completed eye examination or (ii) the 
child presents proof that an eye examination will take place 
within 60 days after October  15th.  The Department of Public 
Health shall establish, by rule, a waiver for children who show 
an undue burden or a lack of access to a physician licensed to 
practice medicine in all of its branches who provides eye 
examinations  or to  a  licensed optometrist.  Each public, 
private, and parochial school must give notice of this eye 
examination requirement to the parents and guardians of 
students in compliance with rules of the Department of Public 
Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to allow a 
school to exclude a child from attending because of a parent's 
or guardian's failure to obtain an eye examination for the 
child.

    (2) The Department of Public Health shall promulgate rules 
and regulations
specifying the examinations and procedures 
that constitute a health examination, which shall include the 
collection of data relating to obesity
(including at a minimum, 
date of birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date 
of exam),
and a dental examination and may recommend by rule 
that certain additional examinations be performed.
The rules 
and regulations of the Department of Public Health shall 
specify that
a tuberculosis skin test screening shall be 
included as a required part of each
health examination included 
under this Section if the child resides in an area
designated 
by the Department of Public Health as having a high incidence 
of
tuberculosis.
The Department of Public Health shall specify 
that a diabetes
screening as defined by rule shall be included 
as a required part of each
health examination.
Diabetes testing 
is not required.
    Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its 
branches, advanced
practice nurses who have a written 
collaborative agreement with
a collaborating physician which 
authorizes them to perform health
examinations, or physician 
assistants who have been delegated the
performance of health 
examinations by their supervising physician
shall be

responsible for the performance of the health examinations, 
other than dental
examinations, eye examinations, and vision 
and hearing screening, and shall sign all report forms
required 
by subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to those 
portions of
the health examination for which the physician, 
advanced practice nurse, or
physician assistant is 
responsible.
 If a registered
nurse performs any part of a 
health examination, then a physician licensed to
practice 
medicine in all of its branches must review and sign all 
required
report forms.  Licensed dentists shall perform all 
dental examinations and
shall sign all report forms required by 
subsection (4) of this Section that
pertain to the dental 
examinations.  Physicians licensed to practice medicine
in all 
its branches or licensed optometrists shall perform all eye 
examinations

required by this Section and shall sign all report 
forms required by
subsection (4) of this Section that pertain 
to the eye examination. For purposes of this Section, an eye 
examination shall at a minimum include history, visual acuity, 
subjective refraction to best visual acuity near and far, 
internal and external examination, and a glaucoma evaluation, 
as well as any other tests or observations that in the 
professional judgment of the doctor are necessary.   Vision and

hearing screening tests, which shall not be considered 
examinations as that
term is used in this Section, shall be 
conducted in accordance with rules and
regulations of the 
Department of Public Health, and by individuals whom the

Department of Public Health has certified.
In these rules and 
regulations, the Department of Public Health shall
require that 
individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's

parent or guardian written notification, before the vision 
screening is
conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a 
substitute for a
complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye 
doctor. Your child is not
required to undergo this vision 
screening if an optometrist or
ophthalmologist has completed 
and signed a report form indicating that
an examination has 
been administered within the previous 12 months."
    (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or 
she receives
a health examination required by subsection (1) of 
this Section, present
to the local school proof of having 
received such immunizations against
preventable communicable 
diseases as the Department of Public Health shall
require by 
rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section and 
the
Communicable Disease Prevention Act.
    (4) The individuals conducting the health examination,


dental examination, or eye examination shall record the
fact of 
having conducted the examination, and such additional 
information as
required, including for a health examination

data relating to obesity
(including at a minimum, date of 
birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date of 
exam), on uniform forms which the Department of Public Health 
and the State
Board of Education shall prescribe for statewide 
use.  The examiner shall
summarize on the report form any 
condition that he or she suspects indicates a
need for special 
services, including for a health examination factors relating 
to obesity.  The individuals confirming the administration of

required immunizations shall record as indicated on the form 
that the
immunizations were administered.
    (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either 
the health
examination or the immunization as required, then 
the child shall be examined
or receive the immunization, as the 
case may be, and present proof by October
15 of the current 
school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year

established by a school district.  To establish a date before 
October 15 of the
current school year for the health 
examination or immunization as required, a
school district must 
give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days
prior 
to the earlier established date.  If for medical reasons one or 
more of
the required immunizations must be given after October 
15 of the current school
year, or after an earlier established 
date of the current school year, then
the child shall present, 
by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a
schedule 
for the administration of the immunizations and a statement of 
the
medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and 
the statement being
issued by the physician, advanced practice 
nurse, physician assistant,
registered nurse, or local health 
department that will
be responsible for administration of the 
remaining required immunizations.  If
a child does not comply by 
October 15, or by the earlier established date of
the current 
school year, with the requirements of this subsection, then the

local school authority shall exclude that child from school 
until such time as
the child presents proof of having had the 
health examination as required and
presents proof of having 
received those required immunizations which are
medically 
possible to receive immediately.  During a child's exclusion 
from
school for noncompliance with this subsection, the child's 
parents or legal
guardian shall be considered in violation of 
Section 26-1 and subject to any
penalty imposed by Section 
26-10. This subsection (5) does not apply to dental 
examinations and eye examinations. If Until June 30, 2015, if 
the student is an out-of-state transfer student and does not 
have the proof required under this subsection (5) before 
October 15 of the current year or whatever date is set by the 
school district, then he or she may only attend classes (i) if 
he or she has proof that an appointment for the required 
vaccinations has been scheduled with a party authorized to 
submit proof of the required vaccinations. If the proof of 
vaccination required under this subsection (5) is not submitted 
within 30 days after the student is permitted to attend 
classes, then the student is not to be permitted to attend 
classes until proof of the vaccinations has been properly 
submitted. No school district or employee of a school district 
shall be held liable for any injury or illness to another 
person that results from admitting an out-of-state transfer 
student to class that has an appointment scheduled pursuant to 
this subsection (5). 
    (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of 
Education by November
15, in the manner which that agency shall 
require, the number of children who
have received the necessary 
immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental 
examination or eye examination) as
required, indicating, of 
those who have not received the immunizations and
examination 
as required, the number of children who are exempt from health

examination and immunization requirements on religious or 
medical grounds as
provided in subsection (8).  On or before 
December 1 of each year, every public school district and 
registered nonpublic school shall make publicly available the 
immunization data they are required to submit to the State 
Board of Education by November 15.  The immunization data made 
publicly available must be identical to the data the school 
district or school has reported to the State Board of 
Education.
    Every school shall report to the State Board of Education 
by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the 
number of children who have received the required dental 
examination, indicating, of those who have not received the 
required dental examination, the number of children who are 
exempt from the dental examination on religious grounds as 
provided in subsection (8) of this Section and the number of 
children who have received a waiver under subsection (1.5) of 
this Section.
    Every school shall report to the State Board of Education 
by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the 
number of children who have received the required eye 
examination, indicating, of those who have not received the 
required eye examination, the number of children who are exempt 
from the eye examination as provided in subsection (8) of this 
Section, the number of children who have received a waiver 
under subsection (1.10) of this Section, and the total number 
of children in noncompliance with the eye examination 
requirement.
    The reported information under this subsection (6) shall be 
provided to the
Department of Public Health by the State Board 
of Education.
    (7) Upon determining that the number of pupils who are 
required to be in
compliance with subsection (5) of this 
Section is below 90% of the number of
pupils enrolled in the 
school district, 10% of each State aid payment made
pursuant to 
Section 18-8.05 to the school district for such year may be 
withheld
by the State Board of Education until the number of 
students in compliance with
subsection (5) is the applicable 
specified percentage or higher.
    (8) Parents or legal guardians who object to health,


dental, or eye examinations or any part thereof, or to 
immunizations, on religious grounds
shall not be required to 
submit their children or wards to the examinations
or 
immunizations to which they so object if such parents or legal 
guardians
present to the appropriate local school authority a 
signed statement of
objection, detailing the grounds for the 
objection.  If the physical condition
of the child is such that 
any one or more of the immunizing agents should not
be 
administered, the examining physician, advanced practice 
nurse, or
physician assistant responsible for the performance 
of the
health examination shall endorse that fact upon the 
health examination form.
Exempting a child from the health,


dental, or eye examination does not exempt the child from

participation in the program of physical education training 
provided in
Sections 27-5 through 27-7 of this Code.
    (9) For the purposes of this Section, "nursery schools" 
means those nursery
schools operated by elementary school 
systems or secondary level school units
or institutions of 
higher learning.

shall be honored within 10 
days after it is received.  Within
10 days after receiving a 
request from the Department of Children and
Family Services, 
the school district last attended by the student shall
send the 
student's school student record to the receiving school 
district.
    (c) In the case of a transfer between school districts of a 
student
who is eligible for special education and related 
services, when the parent
or guardian of the student presents a 
copy of the student's then current
individualized education 
program (IEP) to the new school, the student shall
be placed in 
a special education program in accordance with that described

in the student's IEP.
    (d) Out-of-state Until June 30, 2015, out-of-state 
transfer students, including children of military personnel

    Sec. 32. Educational records for children of active duty 
military personnel. 
    (a) In the event that official educational records cannot 
be released to parents for the purpose of transfer, the 
custodian of the records in the sending state shall prepare and 
furnish to the parent a complete set of unofficial educational 
records to the extent feasible. Upon receipt of the unofficial

state.  A student transferring after the start of the school 
year in the receiving state shall enter the school in the

    (105 ILCS 70/35)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on June 30, 2015)

    Sec. 35. Course placement; program placement; placement 
flexibility; graduation; extracurricular activities; absences 
related to deployment activities for children of active duty 
military personnel Required courses for transfer students; 
pre-requisites; credit transfer; graduation. 
    (a) If a student transfers before or during the school 
year, the school in the receiving state shall initially honor 
placement of the student in educational courses based on the 
student's enrollment in the school in the sending state or 
educational assessments conducted at the school in the sending 
state if the courses are offered and space is available. Course 
placement includes, but is not limited to, honors, 
International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, vocational, 
and technical and career pathways courses. Continuing the 
student's academic program from the school in the sending state 
and promoting placement in academically and career-challenging 
courses must be paramount when considering placement. This 
subsection (a) does not preclude the school in the receiving 
state from performing subsequent evaluations to ensure 
appropriate placement and continued enrollment of the student 
in the course or courses. A student that transfers to a new 
school district may transfer into a comparable course to 
continue credit work for a course from which the student 
transferred out of only if the new school district offers the 
course and space is available. This subsection (a) includes 
courses offered for gifted and talented children pursuant to 
Article 14A of the School Code and courses for English as a 
Second Language program.
    (b) The receiving school shall initially honor the 
placement of the student in educational programs based on 
current educational assessments conducted at the school in the 
sending state or participation or placement in like programs in 
the school in the sending state. Such programs include, but are 
not limited to, gifted and talented programs and English as a 
Second Language (ESL). This subsection (b) does not preclude 
the school in the receiving state from performing subsequent 
evaluations to ensure appropriate placement of the student. The 
school district of a school may determine if courses taken by a 
transfer student at his or her old school satisfy the 
pre-requisite course requirements for any courses that the 
transfer student wishes to take at his or her current school. 
The school district may determine a current and future schedule 
that is appropriate for the student that satisfies any 
pre-requisite course requirements in order for that student to 
take any courses that he or she wishes to attend.
    (c) The school district of a school shall have flexibility 
in waiving course or program prerequisites or other 
preconditions for placement in offered courses or programs. The 
school district of a school shall may work with a transfer 
student to determine an appropriate schedule that ensures that 
a student will graduate, provided that the student has met the 
district's minimal graduation requirements, which may be 
modified provided that the modifications are a result of 
scheduling issues and not a result of the student's academic 
failure.
    (d) If a student transfers to a new school district during 
his or her senior year and the receiving school district cannot 
make reasonable adjustments under this Section to ensure 
graduation, then the school district shall make every 
reasonable effort to ensure that the school district from where 
the student transfers issues the student a diploma.
    (e) Schools shall facilitate the opportunity for 
transitioning military children's inclusion in extracurricular 
activities, to the extent the children are otherwise qualified 
and space is available as determined by the school principal.
