Erin's Law

Illinois · Schools · §§ 105-5-10-1 to 105-5-10-9 · 268 sections

Overview

This act governs the organization and operation of local public school districts. It establishes the school board as the district's governing body — setting how members are elected, how long they serve, how vacancies are filled, what constitutes a quorum, and which officers the board selects — and grants that board corporate powers together with duties covering oversight of the superintendent, employment matters, financial records and reconciliation, member training, and public reporting on district performance and finances. It also fixes baseline rules for schooling itself, including the length of the school term and attendance accounting, school-age and residency requirements with tuition for non-resident pupils, student discipline policy, provision of textbooks and waiver of fees, payment of teachers and payroll withholding, and health and safety obligations such as medication administration, water supply, and hazardous materials training. One thing worth flagging: the titles describe general school-district governance, not child sexual abuse prevention education, which is what Erin's Law is elsewhere. Either the titles came from the wrong sections of the enacting code (the act was likely folded into a broad school-code article, and the whole article got captured), or the label on that state's page is mis-mapped. If this overview is going onto every state's Erin's Law page, it will read as wrong on the states where only the abuse-prevention section was enacted — worth checking the source mapping before publishing.
