| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Public Community College Act is amended by | ||||
adding Section 3-80 as follows: | ||||
(110 ILCS 805/3-80 new) | ||||
Sec. 3-80. Remediation data sharing agreement. | ||||
(a) Beginning January 1, 2024, a community college | ||||
district, upon a request from the school district of a high | ||||
school located within the boundaries of the community college | ||||
district, shall provide individualized disaggregated data on | ||||
the enrollment of students in community college remediation | ||||
courses from the most recently completed academic year. A | ||||
signed remediation data sharing agreement between the school | ||||
district and the community college district must be entered | ||||
into before sharing remediation data. | ||||
(b) The remediation data sharing agreement shall meet all | ||||
of the following requirements: | ||||
(1) The agreement shall require that the data be | ||||
individualized by student and that each student record be | ||||
identified with the student's State identification number | ||||
and last previous high school within the school district, | ||||
as provided by the school district. | ||||
(2) The agreement shall provide that each student | ||
record include, at a minimum, any course codes, the course | ||
names or titles, and the academic department for any | ||
courses that are in the department or subject area of | ||
mathematics, reading, English, or communications or any | ||
other course that is designated as remedial. | ||
(3) The agreement shall provide that each student | ||
record include, at a minimum, course codes, course names | ||
or titles, and the academic department for any courses in | ||
any department or subject area in which the student is | ||
enrolled for a given term at the community college that | ||
are noncredit-bearing courses. | ||
(4) The agreement shall specify the format and method | ||
by which the data will be shared with the school district. | ||
(5) The agreement shall provide a timeline for which | ||
the required data shall be provided to the school district | ||
by the community college district, which must be at least | ||
annually and must be within a reasonable amount of time | ||
following the end of the academic year. | ||
(6) The agreement shall provide that the data may not | ||
be used in the evaluation of licensed educators. | ||
(c) If, within 90 calendar days after the school | ||
district's initial request to enter into a remediation data | ||
sharing agreement with the community college district under | ||
this Section, the school district and the community college | ||
district do not reach an agreement on all of the provisions of | ||
a remediation data sharing agreement, then the school district | ||
and community college district shall jointly implement the | ||
provisions of the model remediation data sharing agreement | ||
developed under subsection (d) for those provisions for which | ||
an agreement could not be reached and shall jointly implement | ||
the remaining provisions for which agreement could be reached. | ||
A community college district may combine its negotiations with | ||
multiple school districts to establish one uniform remediation | ||
data sharing agreement to use with all of the school districts | ||
with high schools located within the boundaries of the | ||
community college district or may negotiate individual | ||
remediation data sharing agreements with school districts. | ||
(d) The Illinois Community College Board and the State | ||
Board of Education shall develop a model remediation data | ||
sharing agreement that may be used by school districts and | ||
community college districts under this Section. The model | ||
remediation data sharing agreement shall address all of the | ||
matters set forth in subsection (b) and shall be completed by | ||
January 1, 2024. | ||
(e) The sharing of data under this Section must be in | ||
accordance with the requirements of the federal Family | ||
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Nothing in this | ||
Section supersedes the federal Family Educational Rights and | ||
Privacy Act of 1974 or rules adopted pursuant to the federal | ||
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 or any | ||
federal or State laws or rules governing student privacy | ||
rights.
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law. | ||
