Bill Title: Amends the School Code. Removes a requirement that school districts, special education nonpublic schools, and specified special education cooperatives accomplish, as part of the State Board of Education's goals, the systemic reduction of isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint within 3 years after August 13, 2021 (the effective date of Public Act 102-339). Requires school districts, special education nonpublic schools, and specified special education cooperatives to submit a report once each year until August 1, 2027 (rather than for 3 years after August 13, 2021 (the effective date of Public Act 102-339)) to the State Board on the progress made toward achieving the goals and benchmarks established by the State Board concerning the use of isolated time out, time out, and physical restraint. Provides that, on or before June 30, 2026 (rather than June 30, 2023), the State Board shall issue a report to the General Assembly on the progress made by school districts, special education nonpublic schools, and specified special education cooperatives to achieve those goals and benchmarks.
