| 3 | | Sec. 27-23.6. Anti-bias education.
| 4 | | (a) The General Assembly finds that there is a significant | 5 | | increase in
violence in
the schools and that much of that | 6 | | violence is the result of intergroup
tensions. The
General | 7 | | Assembly further finds that anti-bias education and intergroup | 8 | | conflict
resolution
are effective methods for preventing | 9 | | violence and lessening tensions in the
schools and that these | 10 | | methods are most effective when they are respectful of
| 11 | | individuals and their divergent viewpoints and religious | 12 | | beliefs, which
are protected by the First Amendment to the | 13 | | Constitution of the United States.
| 14 | | (b) Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, public | 15 | | elementary and
secondary
schools may incorporate activities to | 16 | | address intergroup conflict, with the
objectives of
improving | 17 | | intergroup relations on and beyond the school campus, defusing
| 18 | | intergroup
tensions, and promoting peaceful resolution of | 19 | | conflict.
The activities must be respectful of individuals and | 20 | | their divergent
viewpoints and
religious beliefs, which are | 21 | | protected by the First Amendment
to the Constitution of the | 22 | | United States.
Such activities may
include, but not be limited | 23 | | to,
instruction and teacher training programs.
| 24 | | (c) A school board that adopts a policy to incorporate | 25 | | activities to address
intergroup conflict as authorized under |

district's | 6 | | Internet web site, if any, and making the information | 7 | | available,
upon request, in district offices, and (ii) may | 8 | | include without limitation

Gang resistance education and training. | 14 | | (a) The General Assembly finds that the instance of youth | 15 | | delinquent gangs continues to rise on a statewide basis. Given | 16 | | the higher rates of criminal offending among gang members, as | 17 | | well as the availability of increasingly lethal weapons, the | 18 | | level of criminal activity by gang members has taken on new | 19 | | importance for law enforcement agencies, schools, the | 20 | | community, and prevention efforts. | 21 | | (b) As used in this Section: | 22 | | "Gang resistance education and training" means and | 23 | | includes instruction in, without limitation, each of the | 24 | | following subject matters when accompanied by a stated | 25 | | objective of reducing gang activity and educating children in |

| 1 | | grades K through 12 about the consequences of gang | 2 | | involvement: | 3 | | (1) conflict resolution; | 4 | | (2) cultural sensitivity; | 5 | | (3) personal goal setting; and | 6 | | (4) resisting peer pressure. | 7 | | (c) Each school district and non-public, non-sectarian | 8 | | elementary or secondary school in this State may make suitable | 9 | | provisions for instruction in gang resistance education and | 10 | | training in all grades and include that instruction in the | 11 | | courses of study regularly taught in those grades. For the | 12 | | purposes of gang resistance education and training , a school | 13 | | board or the governing body of a non-public, non-sectarian | 14 | | elementary or secondary school must collaborate with State and | 15 | | local law enforcement agencies.

application of non-aversive behavioral interventions in | 17 | | the school
environment, and the use of psychotropic or | 18 | | psychostimulant medication for

Implicit bias training. | 3 | | (a) The General Assembly makes the following findings: | 4 | | (1) implicit racial bias influences evaluations of and | 5 | | behavior toward those who are the subject of the bias; | 6 | | (2) understanding implicit racial bias is needed in | 7 | | order to reduce that bias; | 8 | | (3) marginalized students would benefit from having | 9 | | access to educators who have worked to reduce their | 10 | | biases; and | 11 | | (4) training that helps educators overcome implicit | 12 | | racial bias has implication for classroom interactions, | 13 | | student evaluation, and classroom engagement; it also | 14 | | affects student academic self-concept. | 15 | | (b) The board shall require in-service training for | 16 | | teachers, administrators, and school support personnel to | 17 | | include training to develop cultural competency, including | 18 | | understanding and reducing implicit racial bias as outlined in | 19 | | Sections 10-22.39 and 3-11 . | 20 | | (c) As used in this Section, "implicit racial bias" means | 21 | | a preference, positive or negative, for a racial or ethnic | 22 | | group that operates outside of awareness.
