| AN ACT concerning education.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section |
| 5 |
| 10-23.8b as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (105 ILCS 5/10-23.8b) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-23.8b)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 10-23.8b. Reclassification of principals. Upon |
| 8 |
| non-renewal of a principal's administrative contract, the |
| 9 |
| principal shall be reclassified pursuant to this Section. No |
| 10 |
| principal who has
completed 2 or more years of administrative |
| 11 |
| service in the school
district may be reclassified by demotion |
| 12 |
| or reduction in rank from one
position within a school district |
| 13 |
| to another for which a lower salary is
paid without written |
| 14 |
| notice from the board of the proposed reclassification
by April |
| 15 |
| 1 of the year in which the contract expires.
|
| 16 |
| Within 10 days of the principal's receipt of this notice,
|
| 17 |
| the school board shall provide the principal with a written |
| 18 |
| statement of
the facts regarding reclassification, and the |
| 19 |
| principal may
request and receive a private hearing with the |
| 20 |
| board to discuss the
reasons for the reclassification. If the |
| 21 |
| principal is not satisfied with
the results of the private |
| 22 |
| hearing, he may, within 5 days thereafter,
request and receive |
| 23 |
| a public hearing on the reclassification. Any
principal may be |
| 24 |
| represented by counsel at a private or public hearing
conducted |
| 25 |
| under this Section.
|
| 26 |
| If the board decides to proceed with the reclassification, |
| 27 |
| it shall
give the principal written notice of its decision |
| 28 |
| within 15 days of the
private hearing or within 15 days of the |
| 29 |
| public hearing held under this
Section whichever is later. The |
| 30 |
| decision of the board thereupon becomes
final.
|
| 31 |
| Nothing in this Section prohibits a board from ordering |
| 32 |
| lateral
transfers of principals to positions of similar rank |
