Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning boards of education.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
105 ILCS 5/10-10
Adds reference to:
105 ILCS 5/27A-5

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Charter Schools Law of the School Code. Extends the moratorium on the establishment of charter schools with virtual-schooling components in school districts other than the Chicago school district through December 31, 2017 (instead of through April 1, 2014). Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Changes the definition of "virtual-schooling" to mean a cyber school where students engage in online curriculum and instruction via the Internet and electronic communication with their teachers at remote locations and with students participating at different times (instead of defining the term as the teaching of courses through online methods with online instructors, rather than the instructor and student being at the same physical location, and including within that definition instruction provided by full-time, online virtual schools).

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Extends the moratorium on the establishment of charter schools with virtual-schooling components in school districts other than the Chicago school district through December 31, 2016 (instead of through December 31, 2017).
