Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Provides for the detachment of a contiguous portion of an elementary school district from that district and its annexation to an adjoining elementary school district to which the portion is also contiguous and the detachment of a contiguous portion of a high school district from that district and its annexation to an adjoining school district to which the portion is also contiguous, upon the filing of a petition, if certain conditions are met with respect to the petition. Requires student teachers assigned to a school district to authorize a criminal background investigation. Provides that upon receipt of this authorization, the school district shall submit the student teacher's personal information to the Department of State Police, who shall conduct the investigation. Prohibits a school board from knowingly allowing a person to student teach who has been convicted for a specified offense or for whom a criminal background investigation has not been initiated. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

Fiscal Note (State Board of Education)

Does not directly increase costs to the State. It is possible that state aid will be affected over time as districts reorganize. HB 1167 likely creates a due process mandate, but it is specifically exempt from the State Mandates Act. HB 1167 will increase costs of school districts to perform criminal background checks on student teachers. Assuming 7,000 student teachers across the state and $12.00 for a background check (not including fingerprints) it will increase costs by approximately $100 thousand. In some cases the cost will be minor, but in larger districts it could be significant.
