| 7 | | Sec. 27-2.5. Instructional mandate discontinuance. |
| 8 | | (a) For the purposes of this Section, "instructional |
| 9 | | mandate" means any State law in this Article that requires a |
| 10 | | school district to devote any amount of time to the |
| 11 | | instruction of or engagement by students in a subject or |
| 12 | | course. |
| 13 | | (b) Notwithstanding Section 2-3.25g or any other provision |
| 14 | | of this Code, a school board may discontinue, by publicly |
| 15 | | adopted resolution, any instructional mandate in this Article |
| 16 | | unless a separate State appropriation, other than funding |

| 18 | | Code, is made for the school district that provides full |
| 19 | | funding for the specific instructional mandate. This Section, |
