Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code and the Board of Higher Education Act.

Includes provisions concerning membership, funding, staffing, duties, and working groups. Abolishes the Joint Education Committee on the effective date of the amendatory Act; makes related changes. Makes changes concerning the Illinois Teaching Excellence Program.

Provides that if the amount appropriated for any fiscal year is less than the amount required for purposes of the program, the amount required to eliminate any insufficiency must be paid the next fiscal year, and provides that payments required to eliminate any insufficiency for the prior fiscal year must be made before any payments are made for the current fiscal year. With respect to the $3,000 annual incentive for certain teachers who agree to provide mentoring, makes changes concerning which classroom teachers the mentoring must be provided to and what the mentoring may include. Provides that an annual incentive equal to $500 shall be paid to each teacher who holds a Master Certificate, who is employed as a teacher by a school district, and who agrees, in writing, to provide at least 30 hours and up to 59 hours of mentoring during that year to classroom teachers. Provides that an annual incentive equal to $1,500 shall be paid to each teacher who holds a Master Certificate, who is employed as a teacher by a school district, and who agrees, in writing, to provide at least 30 hours and up to 59 hours of mentoring during that year to classroom teachers in schools on academic early warning status or in schools in which 50% or more of the students receive free or reduced price lunches or both; sets forth what the mentoring may include.

Effective immediately.
