Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

105 ILCS 5/14C-10

(105 ILCS 5/14C-10) (from Ch. 122, par. 14C-10)

Sec. 14C-10. Parent and community participation.

School districts shall provide for the maximum practical involvement of
parents of children in transitional bilingual education programs. Each
school district shall, accordingly, establish a parent advisory committee
which affords parents the opportunity effectively to express their views
and which ensures that such programs are planned, operated, and evaluated
with the involvement of, and in consultation with, parents of children
served by the programs. Such committees shall be composed of parents of
children enrolled in transitional bilingual education programs,
transitional bilingual education teachers, counselors, and representatives
from community groups; provided, however, that a majority of each committee
shall be parents of children enrolled in the transitional bilingual
education program. Once established, these committees shall autonomously carry out their affairs, including the election of officers and the establishment of internal rules, guidelines, and procedures.
