represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section |
18-17 as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/18-17) (from Ch. 122, par. 18-17)
|
Sec. 18-17. The State Board of Education shall provide the |
loan of
secular textbooks listed for use by the State Board of |
Education free of charge
to any student in this State who is |
enrolled in grades kindergarten through 12
at a public school |
or at a school other than a public school which is in
|
compliance with the compulsory attendance laws of this State |
and Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The foregoing |
service shall be provided directly
to the students at their |
request or at the request of their parents or
guardians. The |
State Board of Education shall adopt appropriate regulations
to |
administer this Section and to facilitate the equitable |
participation
of all students eligible for benefits hereunder, |
including provisions
authorizing the exchange, trade or |
transfer of loaned secular textbooks
between schools or school |
districts for students enrolled in such schools
or districts. |
The bonding requirements of Sections 28-1 and 28-2 of this Code |
do not apply to the loan of secular textbooks under this |
Section. After secular textbooks have been on loan under this
|
Section for a period of 5 years or more, such textbooks may be |
disposed of
by school districts in such manner as their |
respective school
boards shall determine following written |
notification to the State Board
of Education and expiration of |
a reasonable waiting period not to exceed 30
days. Loaned |
textbooks may not be disposed of out-of-State or sold without
|
the prior approval of the State Board of Education.
