21 | thereby
transferred to another district is not lost and the | ||||||
22 | receiving board is
subject to the School Code with respect to | ||||||
23 | such transferred teacher in the

24 | was the district's employee during the time
such teacher was | ||||||
25 | actually employed by the board of the deactivating
district | ||||||
26 | from which the position was transferred.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||

22 | (c) The school board of any unit school district which | ||||||
23 | experienced a
strike by a majority of its certified employees | ||||||
24 | that endured for over 6
months during the regular school term | ||||||
25 | of the 1986-1987 school year, and
which during the ensuing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 1987-1988 school year had an enrollment in grades 9
through 12 | ||||||
2 | of less than 125 students may, when in its judgment the
| ||||||
3 | interests of the district and of the students therein will be | ||||||
4 | best served
thereby, deactivate the high school facilities | ||||||
5 | within the district for the
regular term of the 1988-1989 | ||||||
6 | school year and, for that school year only,
send the students | ||||||
7 | of such high school in grades 9 through 12 to schools in
| ||||||
8 | adjoining or adjacent districts. Such action may only be taken: | ||||||
9 | (a) by
proper resolution of the school board deactivating its | ||||||
10 | high school
facilities and the approval, by proper resolution, | ||||||
11 | of the school board of
the receiving district or districts, and | ||||||
12 | (b) pursuant to a contract between
the sending and each | ||||||
13 | receiving district, which contract or contracts: (i)
shall | ||||||
14 | provide for the reassignment of all students of the deactivated | ||||||
15 | high
school in grades 9 through 12 to the receiving district or | ||||||
16 | districts; (ii)
shall apply only to the regular school term of | ||||||
17 | the 1988-1989 school year;
(iii) shall not be subject to | ||||||
18 | renewal or extension; and (iv) shall require
the sending | ||||||
19 | district to pay to the receiving district the cost of educating
| ||||||
20 | each student who is reassigned to the receiving district, such | ||||||
21 | costs to be
an amount agreed upon by the sending and receiving | ||||||
22 | district but not less
than the per capita cost of maintaining | ||||||
23 | the high school in the receiving
district during the 1987-1988 | ||||||
24 | school year. Any high school facility
deactivated pursuant to | ||||||
25 | this subsection for the regular school term of the
1988-1989 | ||||||
26 | school year shall be reactivated by operation of law as of the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | end of the regular term of the 1988-1989 school year. The | ||||||
2 | status as a unit
school district of a district which | ||||||
3 | deactivates its high school facilities
pursuant to this | ||||||
4 | subsection shall not be affected by reason of such
deactivation | ||||||
5 | of its high school facilities and such district shall continue
| ||||||
6 | to be deemed in law a school district maintaining grades | ||||||
7 | kindergarten
through 12 for all purposes relating to the levy, | ||||||
8 | extension, collection and
payment of the taxes of the district | ||||||
9 | under Article 17 for the 1988-1989
school year.
| ||||||
10 | (d) Whenever a school facility is reactivated pursuant
to | ||||||
11 | the provisions of this Section, then all teachers in | ||||||
12 | contractual
continued service who were honorably dismissed or | ||||||
13 | transferred as part of
the deactivation process, in addition to | ||||||
14 | other rights they may have under
the School Code, shall be | ||||||
15 | recalled or transferred back to the original
district.

19 | (a) To employ such
educational support personnel employees | ||||||
20 | as it deems advisable and to define
their employment duties; | ||||||
21 | provided that residency within any school district
shall not be | ||||||
22 | considered in determining the employment or the compensation of
| ||||||
23 | any such employee, or whether to retain, promote, assign or | ||||||
24 | transfer such
employee. If an educational support personnel | ||||||
25 | employee is removed or dismissed
as a result of a decision of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the school board (i) to decrease the number of
educational | ||||||
2 | support personnel employees employed by the board or (ii) to | ||||||
3 | discontinue
some particular type of educational support | ||||||
4 | service, written notice shall be
mailed to the employee and | ||||||
5 | also given the employee either by certified mail,
return | ||||||
6 | receipt requested or personal delivery with receipt at least 30 | ||||||
7 | days before the employee is removed or dismissed, together with | ||||||
8 | a statement of honorable dismissal and the reason
therefor. The | ||||||
9 | employee with the shorter length of continuing service with the
| ||||||
10 | district, within the respective category of position, shall be | ||||||
11 | dismissed first
unless an alternative method of determining the | ||||||
12 | sequence of dismissal is
established in a collective bargaining | ||||||
13 | agreement or contract between the
board and any exclusive | ||||||
14 | bargaining agent and except that this provision shall
not | ||||||
15 | impair the operation of any affirmative action program in the | ||||||
16 | district,
regardless of whether it exists by operation of law | ||||||
17 | or is conducted on a
voluntary basis by the board. If the board | ||||||
18 | has any vacancies for the following
school term or within one | ||||||
19 | calendar year from the beginning of the following
school term, | ||||||
20 | the positions thereby becoming available within a specific
| ||||||
21 | category of position shall be tendered to the employees so | ||||||
22 | removed or dismissed
from that category of position, so far as | ||||||
23 | they are qualified to hold such
positions. Each board shall, in | ||||||
24 | consultation with any exclusive employee
representative or | ||||||
25 | bargaining agent, each year establish a list, categorized
by | ||||||
26 | positions, showing the length of continuing service of each |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | full time
educational support personnel employee who is | ||||||
2 | qualified to hold any such
positions, unless an alternative | ||||||
3 | method of determining a sequence of dismissal
is established as
| ||||||
4 | provided for in this Section, in which case a list shall be | ||||||
5 | made in
accordance with the alternative method. Copies of the | ||||||
6 | list shall be
distributed to the exclusive employee | ||||||
7 | representative or bargaining agent on
or before February 1 of | ||||||
8 | each year. Where an educational support personnel
employee is | ||||||
9 | dismissed by the board as a result of a
decrease in the number | ||||||
10 | of employees or the discontinuance of the employee's
job, the | ||||||
11 | employee shall be paid all earned compensation on or before the
| ||||||
12 | third business day following his or her last day of employment.
| ||||||
13 | The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1986 relating to | ||||||
14 | residency
within any school district shall not apply to cities | ||||||
15 | having a population
exceeding 500,000 inhabitants.
| ||||||
16 | (b) In the case of a new school district or districts | ||||||
17 | formed in accordance with Article 11E of this Code, a school | ||||||
18 | district or districts that annex all of the territory of one or | ||||||
19 | more entire other school districts in accordance with Article 7 | ||||||
20 | of this Code, or a school district receiving students from a | ||||||
21 | deactivated school facility in accordance with Section | ||||||
22 | 10-22.22b of this Code, the employment of educational support | ||||||
23 | personnel in the new, annexing, or receiving school district | ||||||
24 | immediately following the reorganization shall be governed by | ||||||
25 | this subsection (b). Lists of the educational support personnel | ||||||
26 | employed in the individual districts for the school year |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | immediately prior to the effective date of the new district or | ||||||
2 | districts, annexation, or deactivation shall be combined for | ||||||
3 | the districts forming the new district or districts, for the | ||||||
4 | annexed and annexing districts, or for the deactivating and | ||||||
5 | receiving districts, as the case may be. The combined list | ||||||
6 | shall be categorized by positions, showing the length of | ||||||
7 | continuing service of each full-time educational support | ||||||
8 | personnel employee who is qualified to hold any such position. | ||||||
9 | If there are more full-time educational support personnel | ||||||
10 | employees on the combined list than there are available | ||||||
11 | positions in the new, annexing, or receiving school district, | ||||||
12 | then the employing school board shall first remove or dismiss | ||||||
13 | those educational support personnel employees with the shorter | ||||||
14 | length of continuing service within the respective category of | ||||||
15 | position, following the procedures outlined in subsection (a) | ||||||
16 | of this Section. The employment and position of each | ||||||
17 | educational support personnel employee on the combined list not | ||||||
18 | so removed or dismissed shall be transferred to the new, | ||||||
19 | annexing, or receiving school board, and the new, annexing, or | ||||||
20 | receiving school board is subject to this Code with respect to | ||||||
21 | any educational support personnel employee so transferred as if | ||||||
22 | the educational support personnel employee had been the new, | ||||||
23 | annexing, or receiving board's employee during the time the | ||||||
24 | educational support personnel employee was actually employed | ||||||
25 | by the school board of the district from which the employment | ||||||
26 | and position were transferred. |
| |||||||

7 | (2) positions of educational support personnel | ||||||
8 | employees that, during the 5 school years immediately | ||||||
9 | preceding the effective date of the change, as determined | ||||||
10 | under Section 11E-70 of this Code, were full-time positions | ||||||
11 | in which all of the time required of the position was spent | ||||||

13 | transferred to the control of the school board of the newly | ||||||
14 | created successor elementary district; and | ||||||
15 | (3) positions of educational support personnel | ||||||
16 | employees that were full-time positions not required to be | ||||||
17 | transferred to the control of the school board of the new | ||||||
18 | high school district or combined high school - unit | ||||||
19 | district, as the case may be, or the school board of the | ||||||
20 | newly created successor elementary district under | ||||||
21 | subdivision (1) or (2) of this subsection (a-5) shall be | ||||||
22 | transferred to the control of whichever of the boards the | ||||||
23 | educational support personnel employee requests. | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 9 through 12 shall be determined with reference to the | ||||||
2 | applicable records of the unit district being dissolved | ||||||
3 | pursuant to stipulation of the school board of the unit | ||||||
4 | district prior to the effective date of its dissolution or | ||||||
5 | thereafter of the school board of the newly created districts | ||||||
6 | and with the approval in either case of the regional | ||||||
7 | superintendent of schools of the educational service region in | ||||||
8 | which the territory described in the petition filed under this | ||||||
9 | Article or the greater percentage of equalized assessed | ||||||
10 | evaluation of the territory is situated; however, if no such | ||||||
11 | stipulation can be agreed upon, the regional superintendent of | ||||||
12 | schools, after hearing any additional relevant and material | ||||||
13 | evidence that any school board desires to submit, shall make | ||||||

| ||||||
15 | (b) When the creation of a unit district or a combined | ||||||
16 | school district becomes effective for purposes of | ||||||
17 | administration and attendance, as determined pursuant to | ||||||
18 | Section 11E-70 of this Code, the positions of teachers in | ||||||
19 | contractual continued service in the districts involved in the | ||||||
20 | creation of the new district are transferred to the newly | ||||||
21 | created district pursuant to the provisions of Section 24-12 of | ||||||
22 | this Code relative to teachers having contractual continued | ||||||
23 | service status whose positions are transferred from one board | ||||||
24 | to the control of a different board, and those provisions of | ||||||
25 | Section 24-12 shall apply to these transferred teachers. The | ||||||
26 | contractual continued service status of any teacher thereby |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | transferred to the newly created district is not lost and the | ||||||
2 | new school board is subject to this Code with respect to the | ||||||
3 | transferred teacher in the same manner as if the teacher was | ||||||
4 | that district's employee and had been its employee during the | ||||||
5 | time the teacher was actually employed by the school board of | ||||||
6 | the district from which the position was transferred.
| ||||||
7 | (c) When the creation of a unit district or a combined | ||||||
8 | school district becomes effective for purposes of | ||||||
9 | administration and attendance, as determined pursuant to | ||||||
10 | Section 11E-70 of this Code, the positions of educational | ||||||
11 | support personnel employees in the districts involved in the | ||||||
12 | creation of the new district shall be transferred to the newly | ||||||
13 | created district pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 10-23.5 | ||||||
14 | of this Code. The length of continuing service of any | ||||||
15 | educational support personnel employee thereby transferred to | ||||||
16 | the newly created district is not lost and the new school board | ||||||
17 | is subject to this Code with respect to the transferred | ||||||
18 | educational support personnel employee in the same manner as if | ||||||
19 | the educational support personnel employee had been that | ||||||
20 | district's employee during the time the educational support | ||||||
21 | personnel employee was actually employed by the school board of | ||||||
22 | the district from which the position was transferred.
