COULSON-LYONS,EILEEN-BLACK. (KARPIEL-PARKER) 105 ILCS 5/2-3.51 from Ch. 122, par. 2-3.51 Amends the School Code. In provisions concerning the Reading Improvement Block Grant Program, provides that districts not demonstrating performance progress for those students whose Illinois Goals and Assessment Program reading scores were included in any application for funds, using a testing procedure established by the State Board of Education, shall not be eligible for subsequent funding until such progress is established (instead of demonstrating performance progress using IGAP reading scores as the basis of measure). HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Removes the provision that provides that school districts not demonstrating performance progress for those students whose Illinois Goals and Assessment Program reading scores were included in any application for Reading Improvement Block Grant Program funds shall not be eligible for subsequent funding until such progress is established. Permits school districts participating in the Reading Improvement Block Grant Program to use assessment methods other than the reading portion of the IGAP tests to measure student reading skills, and provides that districts not demonstrating performance progress using an approved assessment method shall not be eligible for subsequent funding until such progress is established. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education) Cost is dependent on the choice of assessment instruments and is indeterminate at this time. 98-02-04 H FILED WITH CLERK 98-02-04 H FIRST READING 98-02-04 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 98-02-25 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE ELEM SCND ED 98-03-19 H AMENDMENT NO. 01-ELEM SCND ED H 98-03-19 H ADOPTED 98-03-19 H DO PASS AMENDED/SHORT DEBATE 014-000-001 HELM 98-03-19 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 98-03-23 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 98-03-23 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 98-03-24 H THIRD READING/SHORT DEBATE/PASSED 116-000-000 98-03-24 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR LYONS,EILEEN 98-03-24 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR BLACK 98-03-25 S ARRIVE IN SENATE 98-03-25 S PLACED CALENDAR ORDER OF FIRST READING 98-03-25 S CHIEF SPONSOR KARPIEL 98-03-25 S FIRST READING 98-03-25 S REFERRED TO SENATE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 98-03-25 S FISCAL NOTE FILED AS AMENDED HA 01 98-03-25 S COMMITTEE RULES 98-04-01 S ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EDUCATION 98-04-15 S ADDED AS A CHIEF CO-SPONSOR PARKER 98-04-22 S DO PASS 010-000-000 SESE 98-04-22 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 2ND READING 98-04-23 98-04-30 S FILED WITH SECRETARY 98-04-30 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-KARPIEL 98-04-30 S AMENDMENT REFERRED TO SRUL 98-05-04 S SECOND READING 98-05-04 S PLACED ON CALENDAR ORDER OF 3RD READING 98-05-05 98-05-06 S AMENDMENT NO. 01-KARPIEL 98-05-06 S RULES REFERS TO SESE 98-05-13 S THIRD READING - PASSED 054-003-001 98-05-13 S TABLED PURSUANT TO RULE 5-4(A) SA 01 98-05-13 S THIRD READING - PASSED 054-003-001 98-05-13 H PASSED BOTH HOUSES 98-06-11 H SENT TO THE GOVERNOR 98-07-24 H GOVERNOR APPROVED 98-07-24 H EFFECTIVE DATE 99-01-01 98-07-24 H PUBLIC ACT.............................. 90-0640 END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
