Comments: IL HB5588 | 2017-2018 | 100th General Assembly
Bill Title: Amends the School Code. With regard to the State Board of Education developing recognition standards for student performance and school improvement, removes provisions providing for a Multiple Measure Index in determining standards for student performance. Changes references from the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" to the "Every Student Succeeds Act". Provides that, beginning in fiscal year 2018, the State Board of Education may identify a school district as eligible for targeted and comprehensive services under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act. Requires a 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Program to provide grants to support whole child-focused (rather than academically focused) after-school programs that are aligned with the regular academic programs of a school and the academic needs of students who attend a high-poverty, low-performing school. Requires the State Board of Education to administer a climate survey to provide feedback from, at minimum, students in grades 4 through 12 and teachers on the instructional environment within a school. Repeals provisions governing the Multiple Measure Index and Annual Measurable Objectives, class size reduction grant programs, and highly qualified teachers under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
