Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Chicago School District Article of the School Code. With respect to the student member of a local school council for a secondary attendance center, provides for his or her election by 10th and 11th grade students (instead of being appointed by the Chicago Board of Education after a non-binding, advisory poll of student preferences); makes related changes. Requires a person to be in the 12th grade at the beginning of the school year coinciding with his or her term in order to be eligible to be a student member. Allows 10th and 11th grade students to vote for parent and community resident members of a high school council.
House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Chicago School District Article of the School Code. In provisions concerning local school councils, defines "community resident" to mean a person, 17 years of age or older, residing within an attendance area served by a school, excluding any person who is a parent of a student enrolled in that school; provided that with respect to any multi-area school, community resident means any person, 17 years of age or older, residing within the voting district established for that school, excluding any person who is a parent of a student enrolled in that school. Provides that if a community resident member of the local school council attends a secondary attendance center, the student may only be a member of the local school council for the secondary attendance center he or she attends.
House Floor Amendment No. 3 Removes the requirement that if the community resident member of the local school council attends a secondary attendance center, the student may only be a member of the local school council for the secondary attendance center he or she attends.
