Chicago Learning Zone Implementation Law
Illinois · Schools · §§ 105-5-34-1 to 105-5-34-9 · 281 sections
Overview
The Chicago Learning Zone Implementation Law governs the operation of the school district serving Illinois's largest city, setting out the structure and authority of its board of education along with the officers, attorneys, and employees who serve under it. It defines the board's powers and the limits on them, including which matters lie outside the city council's reach, and provides for legal counsel, an inspector general, and rules for appointing, suspending, or removing district personnel. Beyond governance, it imposes substantive requirements on district practice — student transfers, bilingual and summer kindergarten programming, academic eligibility standards, health and medication policies, restrictions on restraint and isolated time out, limits on tobacco and drugs, and controls on the disclosure of student information.
