DAVIS,MONIQUE-JONES,LOU. 105 ILCS 5/27-23.10 new Amends the School Code. For grades 6 though 8, requires a public school to include in its curriculum a science lab that uses microscopes, scales, and scientific weights. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) It is unclear how many schools currently provide a curriculum that meets this requirement. The State Board currently has a Scientific Literacy Program that provides grants for such equipment and certainly schools have substantial resources in general state aid, the ADA Block Grant and other programs to provide such equipment. STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education) Same as SBE fiscal note.
