Sec. 2-3.112.
Service evaluation reports.
(a) The Service Evaluation Committee is hereby created to design and
develop, under the direction of the Office of the
Lieutenant Governor, a form to be used by school districts as provided
in this Section to annually evaluate the nature and quality of the services
furnished to those school districts by the State Board of Education and the
regional offices of education. The Service Evaluation Committee shall be
composed of 7 members, consisting of one member from each of the following
entities, designated in each case by the governing board of the entity from
which the member is designated:
(1) the Regional Superintendents Association;
(2) the staff employed by the State Board of Education;
(3) the Illinois Parent Teacher Association;
(4) the Illinois Education Association;
(5) the Illinois Federation of Teachers;
(6) the Illinois Association of School Boards; and
(7) the Illinois Association of School Administrators.
Members of the Service Evaluation Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the
governing board of the entity by which they are designated to serve as members
of the Committee. Committee members shall serve without compensation but shall
be reimbursed for the reasonable expenses which they necessarily incur in the
performance of their responsibilities as members of the Committee.
(b) Under the direction of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, the
Committee, at periodic intervals not to exceed 3 years, shall review the form to be used for the evaluation
and
make
any modifications in the form that it determines
are necessary. The
design, development, and any modifications that are to be made to the form
shall be determined not later than August 1 of each year,
beginning in 1998.
(c) The Office of the Lieutenant Governor
shall cause the form of evaluation as last
designed, developed, or modified under this Section to be printed and
distributed to the board of education of each school district in the State not
later than September 1 of each year, beginning in 1998.
(d) The president of the board of education is authorized to cause the
evaluation form
to be completed and may sign the form as president of the board of education
and forward the completed form to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor
not later than November 1 of each year, beginning in 1998. Before
completing
and signing the evaluation form, the president, acting through the board of
education, shall request and receive comments, opinions, and other input from
the district's administrators, teachers, and teacher organizations to assist
the board of education in evaluating, rating, and reporting, on the form to be
transmitted to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, the nature and quality of
the services furnished to the district by the State Board of Education and the
regional office of education for the educational service region in which the
school district is located.
(e) The Office of the Lieutenant Governor shall review and tally the results
of all evaluation forms received from the several school districts of the State
and submit a written report of the evaluation results to the Governor, the
General Assembly, the members of the State Board of Education, and each of the
several regional superintendents of schools not later than December 15 of each
year, beginning in 1998. The Office of the Lieutenant Governor,
in making the
annual written report required by this subsection, shall not report, publish,
or otherwise release the evaluation results separately for any regional offices
of education but instead the evaluation results with respect to the regional
offices of education shall be tallied and reported on an aggregate or composite
basis, in such manner as to avoid reporting evaluation results on a regional
office of education by regional office of education basis.
(f) This Section is subject to the provisions of Section 405-500 of the
Department of Central Management Services Law (20 ILCS 405/405-500).
