However, in districts under a | 12 | | Financial Oversight Panel pursuant to
Section 1A-8 for | 13 | | violating a financial plan, the duties and responsibilities of
| 14 | | the superintendent in relation to the financial and business | 15 | | operations of the

otherwise comes into frequent | 24 | | contact with children
in the school has been named as a | 25 | | perpetrator in an indicated report filed
pursuant to the Abused | 26 | | and Neglected Child Reporting Act, approved June 26,

may delegate to him.
| 5 | | In addition, each year at a time designated by the State | 6 | | Superintendent of Education,
each
superintendent shall report | 7 | | to the State Board of Education the number of high school | 8 | | students in the
district who are enrolled in accredited courses | 9 | | (for which high school
credit will be awarded upon successful | 10 | | completion of the courses) at any
community college, together | 11 | | with the name and number of the course or
courses which each | 12 | | such student is taking.
| 13 | | The provisions of this Section shall also apply to
board of | 14 | | director districts.
| 15 | | Notice of intent not to renew
a contract must be given in | 16 | | writing stating the
specific reason therefor by April 1 of the | 17 | | contract
year unless the contract specifically provides | 18 | | otherwise.
Failure to do so will automatically extend the | 19 | | contract
for an additional year. Within 10 days after receipt | 20 | | of
notice of intent not to renew a contract, the superintendent
| 21 | | may request a closed session hearing on the dismissal. At the | 22 | | hearing the
superintendent has the privilege of presenting | 23 | | evidence, witnesses and
defenses on the grounds for dismissal.
| 24 | | The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to a district | 25 | | under a
Financial Oversight Panel pursuant to Section 1A-8 for | 26 | | violating a financial
plan.
