        Deletes everything after the enacting clause.  Amends the  School      
   Code.    Provides  for  the  detachment  of a contiguous portion of an      
   elementary school district from that district and its annexation to an      
   adjoining elementary school district to  which  the  portion  is  also      
   contiguous and the detachment of a contiguous portion of a high school      
   district  from that district and its annexation to an adjoining school      
   district to which the portion is also contiguous, upon the filing of a      
   petition, if certain conditions are met with respect to the  petition.      
   Requires student teachers assigned to a school district to authorize a      
   criminal  background investigation if the school district so requires.      
   Provides that upon receipt of this authorization, the school  district      
   shall  submit  the  student  teacher's  personal  information  to  the      
   Department  of  State  Police,  who  shall  conduct the investigation.      
   Prohibits a school board from knowingly allowing a person  to  student      
   teach  who  has  been  convicted for a specified offense or for whom a      
   criminal background investigation has not been initiated if the school      
   district requires the student teacher to undergo a criminal background      
   investigation.  Effective immediately.                                      
        CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 1. (Adopted in Senate only)            
        Recommends that the Senate recede from Senate Amendment No. 1.         
        Recommends that the bill be amended as follows:                        
        Deletes everything after  the  enacting  clause.   Reinserts  the      
   contents of Senate Amendment No. 1 with the following changes.  In the      
   provisions  concerning  annexation,  defines "contiguous", changes the      
   description of the Territory, allows certification of boundaries to be      
   made by the clerk of the municipality,  changes  references  from  the      
   State  Superintendent  of  Education  to  the regional board of school      
   trustees, and  makes  technical  changes.  Requires  student  teachers      
   assigned  to  any  school  district to authorize a criminal background      
   investigation (not just those student teachers assigned  to  districts      
   that  require  an  investigation). The annexation provisions effective      
   immediately; the student teacher provisions effective July 1, 2002.
