SB329 Enrolled LRB9207406ACcd
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 10-22.34 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/10-22.34) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-22.34)
Sec. 10-22.34. Non-certificated personnel.
(a) School Boards may employ non-teaching personnel or
utilize volunteer personnel for: (1) non-teaching duties not
requiring instructional judgment or evaluation of pupils; and
(2) supervising study halls, long distance teaching reception
areas used incident to instructional programs transmitted by
electronic media such as computers, video, and audio, and
detention and discipline areas, and school-sponsored
extracurricular activities.
(b) School boards may further utilize volunteer
non-certificated personnel or employ non-certificated
personnel to assist in the instruction of pupils under the
immediate supervision of a teacher, holding a valid
certificate, directly engaged in teaching subject matter or
conducting activities. The teacher shall be continuously
aware of the non-certificated persons' activities and shall
be able to control or modify them. The State Board of
Education, in consultation with the State Teacher
Certification Board, shall determine qualifications of such
personnel and shall prescribe rules for determining the
duties and activities to be assigned to such personnel. In
the determination of qualifications of such personnel, the
State Board of Education shall accept coursework earned in a
recognized institution or from an institution of higher
learning accredited by the North Central Association or other
comparable regional accrediting association.
(c) School boards may also employ students holding a
bachelor's degree from a recognized institution of higher
learning as part time teaching interns when such students are
enrolled in a college or university internship program, which
has prior approval by the State Board of Education, in
consultation with the State Teacher Certification Board,
leading to a masters degree.
Regional offices of education have the authority to
initiate and collaborate with institutions of higher learning
to establish internship programs referenced in this
subsection (c). The State Board of Education has 90 days
from receiving a written proposal to establish the internship
program to seek the State Teacher Certification Board's
consultation on the internship program. If the State Board
of Education does not consult the State Teacher Certification
Board within 90 days, the regional office of education may
seek the State Teacher Certification Board's consultation
without the State Board of Education's approval.
(d) Nothing in this Section shall require constant
supervision of a student teacher enrolled in a student
teaching course at a college or university, provided such
activity has the prior approval of the representative of the
higher education institution and teaching plans have
previously been discussed with and approved by the
supervising teacher and further provided that such teaching
is within guidelines established by the State Board of
Education in consultation with the State Teacher
Certification Board.
