Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code to provide that principals hired on or after July 1, 2008 may participate in a second year of mentoring through the new principal mentoring program if it is determined by the State Superintendent of Education that sufficient funding exists for such participation. Removes a provision requiring the completion of a survey of progress. Requires the State Superintendent to annually determine whether appropriations are likely to be sufficient to require operation of the mentoring program for the coming year. Provides that the master principal designation program includes mentoring master level principals. Provides that the State Board of Education shall select, through a competitive process, statewide entities to receive funds appropriated for the purpose of providing a program (instead of the State Board adopting rules for entities seeking to provide a program). Provides that "master principal designation program" shall also be known as the Illinois Distinguished Principal Leadership Institute. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the State Board of Education shall select, through a competitive application process, a statewide entity or entities to receive funds appropriated for the purpose of providing a master principal designation program (instead of requiring the State Board, in consultation with the State Teacher Certification Board, to select, through a competitive process, statewide entities to receive the funds).
