AN ACT concerning education.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section |
10-23.8b as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/10-23.8b) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-23.8b)
|
Sec. 10-23.8b. Reclassification of principals. Upon |
non-renewal of a principal's administrative contract, the |
principal shall be reclassified pursuant to this Section. No |
principal who has
completed 2 or more years of administrative |
service in the school
district may be reclassified by demotion |
or reduction in rank from one
position within a school district |
to another for which a lower salary is
paid without written |
notice from the board of the proposed reclassification
by April |
1 of the year in which the contract expires.
|
Within 10 days of the principal's receipt of this notice,
|
the school board shall provide the principal with a written |
statement of
the facts regarding reclassification, and the |
principal may
request and receive a private hearing with the |
board to discuss the
reasons for the reclassification. If the |
principal is not satisfied with
the results of the private |
hearing, he may, within 5 days thereafter,
request and receive |
a public hearing on the reclassification. Any
principal may be |
represented by counsel at a private or public hearing
conducted |
under this Section.
|
If the board decides to proceed with the reclassification, |
it shall
give the principal written notice of its decision |
within 15 days of the
private hearing or within 15 days of the |
public hearing held under this
Section whichever is later. The |
decision of the board thereupon becomes
final.
|
Nothing in this Section prohibits a board from ordering |
lateral
transfers of principals to positions of similar rank |
