|
| 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 adding Section |
| 5 | | 24A-5.5 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (105 ILCS 5/24A-5.5 new) |
| 7 | | Sec. 24A-5.5. Local appeal process for unsatisfactory |
| 8 | | ratings. Beginning with the first school year following the |
| 9 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General |
| 10 | | Assembly, each school district shall, in good faith cooperation |
| 11 | | with its teachers or, if applicable, through good faith |
| 12 | | bargaining with the exclusive bargaining representative of its |
| 13 | | teachers, develop and implement an appeals process for |
| 14 | | "unsatisfactory" ratings under Section 24A-5 that includes, |
| 15 | | but is not limited to, an assessment of the original rating by |
| 16 | | a panel of qualified evaluators agreed to by the joint |
| 17 | | committee referred to in subsection (b) of Section 24A-4 that |
| 18 | | has the power to revoke the "unsatisfactory" rating it deems to |
| 19 | | be erroneous. The joint committee shall determine the criteria |
| 20 | | for successful appeals; however, the issuance of a rating to |
| 21 | | replace an "unsatisfactory" rating must be determined through |
| 22 | | bargaining between the exclusive bargaining representative, if |
| 23 | | any, and the school district.
