public
schools under his or her supervision and notify the |

| board has
failed in a timely manner to correct urgent items |
| 2 |
| identified in a previous
life-safety report completed under |
| 3 |
| Section 2-3.12 or as otherwise previously
ordered by the |

| regional superintendent, the regional superintendent shall |
| 5 |
| order
the school board to adopt and submit to the regional |

been completed and that the violations have |
| 14 |
| not been corrected, the regional
superintendent shall submit a |
| 15 |
| report to the State Board of Education with a
recommendation |

| aid
due to the district an amount necessary to correct the |
| 18 |
| outstanding violations.
The State Board, upon notice to the |
| 19 |
| school board
and to the regional superintendent, shall consider |
| 20 |
| the report at a meeting of
the State Board, and may order that |
| 21 |
| a sufficient amount of general State aid be
withheld from |
| 22 |
| payments due to the district to correct the violations. This
|
| 23 |
| amount shall be paid to the regional superintendent who shall |
| 24 |
| contract on
behalf of the school board for the correction of |
| 25 |
| the outstanding violations.
|
| 26 |
| (c) The Office of the State Fire Marshal or a qualified |
| 27 |
| fire official, as defined in Section 2-3.12 of this Code, to |
| 28 |
| whom the State Fire Marshal has delegated his or her authority |
| 29 |
| shall conduct an annual fire safety inspection of each school |
| 30 |
| building in this State. The State Fire Marshal or the fire |
| 31 |
| official shall coordinate its inspections with the regional |
| 32 |
| superintendent. The inspection shall be based on the fire |
| 33 |
| safety code authorized in Section 2-3.12 of this Code. Any |
| 34 |
| violations shall be reported in writing to the regional |

| 10 |
