Public Act 92-0184
SB1293 Enrolled LRB9205351NTsbB
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 21-9 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/21-9) (from Ch. 122, par. 21-9)
Sec. 21-9. Substitute certificates and substitute
teaching.
(a) A substitute teacher's certificate may be issued for
teaching in all grades of the common schools. Such
certificate may be issued upon request of the regional
superintendent of schools of any region in which the teacher
is to teach. A substitute teacher's certificate is valid for
teaching in the public schools of any county. Such
certificate may be issued to persons who either (a) hold a
certificate valid for teaching in the common schools as
shown on the face of the certificate, (b) hold a bachelor of
arts degree from an institution of higher learning accredited
by the North Central Association or other comparable regional
accrediting association or have been graduated from a
recognized institution of higher learning with a bachelor's
degree, or (c) have had 2 years of teaching experience and
meet such other rules and regulations as may be adopted by
the State Board of Education in consultation with the State
Teacher Certification Board. Such certificate shall expire
on June 30 in the fourth year from date of issue. Substitute
teacher's certificates are not subject to endorsement as
described in Section 21-1b of this Code.
(b) A teacher holding a substitute teacher's certificate
may teach only in the place of a certified teacher who is
under contract with the employing board and may teach only
when no appropriate fully certified teacher is available to
teach in a substitute capacity. A teacher holding an early
childhood certificate, an elementary certificate, a high
school certificate, or a special certificate may also
substitute teach in grades K-12 but only in the place of a
certified teacher who is under contract with the employing
board. A substitute teacher may teach only for a period not
to exceed 90 paid school days or 450 paid school hours in any
one school district in any one school term. However, for the
2001-2002, 2002-2003, and 2003-2004 school years, a teacher
holding an early childhood, elementary, high school, or
special certificate may substitute teach for a period not to
exceed 120 paid school days or 600 paid school hours in any
one school district in any one school term. Where such
teaching is partly on a daily and partly on an hourly basis,
a school day shall be considered as 5 hours. The teaching
limitations imposed by this subsection upon teachers holding
substitute certificates shall not apply in any school
district operating under Article 34.
