Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. In provisions concerning violence prevention and conflict resolution education, changes language to provide that school districts with a population of more than 150,000 shall provide and school districts with a population of 150,000 or less may provide, for a period of not less than 3 weeks per calendar year (now, all school districts shall provide), instruction in violence prevention and conflict resolution education for grades kindergarten through 12 (rather than grades 4 through 12). Allows school districts to include the instruction in the social studies courses of study (instead of in the courses of study regularly taught therein). Provides that school districts must provide in-service instruction for teachers to assist them in implementing the program if implementation is required. Provides that the State Board of Education shall adopt any rules that are necessary for administration of the program. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.
