Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Requires the State Board of Education to establish and administer a program that provides stipends to teachers who choose to teach at hard-to-staff public schools in this State. Provides that under the program, if a teacher agrees to teach at a hard-to-staff school for 5 years, the teacher is entitled to a $20,000 stipend each year for those 5 years. Provides that the stipend may be paid out each year that the teacher teaches at a hard-to-staff school or may be paid as a lump sum after the teacher has completed 5 years of teaching at a hard-to-staff school.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as introduced with the following changes. Defines "hard-to-staff school". Provides that a teacher must have at least 2 years of experience at a recognized school. Provides that the $20,000 stipend shall be a total $20,000 stipend over 5 years (instead of a $20,000 stipend each year for 5 years). Provides that the State Board of Education may adopt any rules necessary for the implementation of the stipend provisions (instead of any rules necessary to carry out its responsibilities under the stipend provisions).

House Amendment No. 2
Provides that the requirement that the State Board of Education establish and administer the program is subject to appropriation. Provides that under the program, a teacher must have at least 4 (instead of 2) years of experience at a recognized school.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code. With respect to provisions concerning the Salary Incentive Program for Hard-to-Staff Schools, (1) provides that the incentives and bonuses are for teachers and administrators employed by school districts in schools designated as hard-to-staff (instead of the school district being designated as hard-to-staff); (2) defines "hard-to-staff school"; (3) provides that only teachers and principals who work full time and for a full school year are eligible; (4) provides for proration if an appropriation is insufficient; and (5) requires the State Board of Education, the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois, and the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago to work together to validate data. If and only if Senate Bill 2042 becomes law, further amends the School Code. In a Section concerning tuition for non-resident pupils, removes the provision that provides that, for students receiving educational services in residential facilities, nothing in the Section shall be construed to relieve the school district of the student's residence of financial responsibility based on the manner in which the student was placed at the facility. In a Section of the Students with Disabilities Article concerning placement in a residential facility, (1) makes changes concerning the calculation of a resident district's financial responsibility and reimbursement; (2) provides that resident district financial responsibility and reimbursement applies for both residential facilities that are approved by the State Board of Education and non-approved facilities; (3) provides that the Illinois placing agency or court remains responsible for funding the residential portion of the placement and for notifying the resident district prior to the placement, except in emergency situations; (4) provides for notification by the residential facility to the resident district; (5) makes changes concerning a student's individualized education program; and (6) requires a residential facility providing educational services within the facility, but not approved by the State Board, to demonstrate certain proof to the State Board. Varied effective date.
