Bill Summary
Amends the School Boards Article of the School Code. Provides that the length of a contract between a deactivating school district that is seeking to send its students to more than one district and the receiving district shall be for 4 (rather than 2) school years, but the districts may renew the contract for a length of time that is mutually agreed upon by the districts (rather than for additional one-year or 2-year periods).
AI Summary
This bill modifies the School Code to extend the contract length between a deactivating school district, which is sending its students to multiple other districts, and those receiving districts. Previously, these contracts were for two school years, but this bill changes the initial contract term to four school years. Additionally, while existing law allowed for contract renewals in one or two-year increments, this amendment permits districts to mutually agree upon any length of time for contract renewals, offering more flexibility.
