|
| 1 | | school from the State goals, standards, and
assessments | 2 | | established pursuant to Section 2-3.64a-5 of this Code.
| 3 | | Beginning with the 2003-2004 school year, the certified | 4 | | charter for a charter
school operating in a city having a | 5 | | population exceeding 500,000 shall
require the charter school | 6 | | to administer any other nationally recognized
standardized | 7 | | tests to its students that the chartering entity administers | 8 | | to
other
students, and the results on such tests shall be | 9 | | included in the
chartering entity's assessment reports.
| 10 | | (c) Subject to the provisions of subsection (e), a | 11 | | material revision to a
previously certified contract or a | 12 | | renewal shall be made with
the approval of both the local | 13 | | school board and the governing body of the
charter school.
| 14 | | (c-5) The proposed contract shall include a provision on | 15 | | how both parties
will address minor violations of the | 16 | | contract.
| 17 | | (d) The proposed contract between the governing body of a | 18 | | proposed charter
school and the local school board as | 19 | | described in Section 27A-7 must be
submitted to and certified | 20 | | by the State Board before it can take effect. If
the State | 21 | | Board recommends that the proposed contract be modified for
| 22 | | consistency with this Article before it can be certified, the | 23 | | modifications
must be consented to by both the governing body | 24 | | of
the charter school and the local school board, and | 25 | | resubmitted to the State
Board for its certification. If the | 26 | | proposed contract is resubmitted in a form
that is not |
| | | 10200SB0577sam002 | - 3 - | LRB102 16485 CMG 25804 a |
|
| 1 | | consistent with this Article, the State
Board may refuse to | 2 | | certify the charter.
| 3 | | The State Board shall assign a number to each submission | 4 | | or resubmission in
chronological order of receipt, and shall | 5 | | determine whether the proposed
contract is consistent with the | 6 | | provisions of this Article. If the proposed
contract complies, | 7 | | the State Board shall so certify.
| 8 | | (e) No renewal of a previously certified contract is | 9 | | effective unless and until the State Board certifies that the | 10 | | renewal is consistent with the provisions of this Article. A | 11 | | material revision to a previously certified contract may go | 12 | | into effect immediately upon approval of both the local school | 13 | | board and the governing body of the charter school, unless | 14 | | either party requests in writing that the State Board certify | 15 | | that the material revision is consistent with the provisions | 16 | | of this Article. If such a request is made, the proposed | 17 | | material revision is not effective unless and until the State | 18 | | Board so certifies.
| 19 | | (f) Charter schools that accept funding directly or | 20 | | indirectly from the State of Illinois after the effective date | 21 | | of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly and | 22 | | charter school subcontractors regularly performing work at | 23 | | charter school facilities, shall, as a condition of such | 24 | | funding, comply with this amendatory Act of the 102nd General | 25 | | Assembly and have in place, at all times, a labor peace | 26 | | agreement (referred to in this subsection (f) as "Labor Peace |
| | | 10200SB0577sam002 | - 4 - | LRB102 16485 CMG 25804 a |
|
| 1 | | Agreement") with any bona fide employee organization or labor | 2 | | organization in which employees participate and that exists | 3 | | for the purpose, in whole or in part, of dealing with charter | 4 | | schools or their subcontractors concerning grievances, labor | 5 | | disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or | 6 | | conditions of work (referred to in this subsection (f) as | 7 | | "Labor Organization") and that requests a Labor Peace | 8 | | Agreement. No Labor Peace Agreement may be recognized under | 9 | | this subsection (f) if the charter school or its subcontractor | 10 | | directly or indirectly assists or encourages the formation or | 11 | | operation of the Labor Organization. | 12 | | The Labor Peace Agreement shall include binding and | 13 | | enforceable provisions prohibiting the Labor Organization and | 14 | | its members from engaging in, supporting, encouraging, or | 15 | | assisting any work stoppages or other direct economic | 16 | | interference by the Labor Organization or by the covered | 17 | | employees for the duration of the Labor Peace Agreement. A | 18 | | Labor Peace Agreement for a charter school subcontractor shall | 19 | | be limited to the subcontractor's employees who regularly work | 20 | | at the charter school facility. | 21 | | A Labor Organization seeking a Labor Peace Agreement shall | 22 | | notify the charter school in writing of its intention to enter | 23 | | into a Labor Peace Agreement with the charter school or its | 24 | | subcontractor, identifying the employee classifications of the | 25 | | charter school or its subcontractor to be covered under the | 26 | | Labor Peace Agreement. Administrative and managerial employees |
| | | 10200SB0577sam002 | - 5 - | LRB102 16485 CMG 25804 a |

| 1 | | are exempt from this subsection (f). Nothing in this | 2 | | subsection (f) may limit the rights of multiple Labor | 3 | | Organizations to seek Labor Peace Agreements covering separate | 4 | | and distinct classifications of employees who are not covered | 5 | | by a Labor Peace Agreement, including a collective bargaining | 6 | | agreement that complies with this amendatory Act of the 102nd | 7 | | General Assembly. The Labor Peace Agreement must be executed | 8 | | within 30 days after receipt of the Labor Organization's | 9 | | written notice of intention. Labor Peace Agreements shall be | 10 | | filed with the Department of Labor within 15 days after | 11 | | execution. | 12 | | Upon receipt of a written request for a Labor Peace | 13 | | Agreement, charter schools shall at all times allow | 14 | | representatives of Labor Organizations to enter charter school | 15 | | campuses and offices, at any time employees in the designated | 16 | | classifications are present at those locations, to meet | 17 | | privately with employees in non-work spaces and at non-working | 18 | | times. | 19 | | (Source: P.A. 98-972, eff. 8-15-14; 98-1048, eff. 8-25-14; | 20 | | 99-78, eff. 7-20-15.)
