the United States |
that, if committed or attempted in this State, would
have been |
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State.
|
|
Authorization for
the check shall be furnished by the applicant |
to
the school district, except that if the applicant is a |
substitute teacher
seeking employment in more than one school |
district, a teacher seeking
concurrent part-time employment |
positions with more than one school
district (as a reading |
specialist, special education teacher or otherwise),
or an |
educational support personnel employee seeking employment |
positions
with more than one district, any such district may |
require the applicant to
furnish authorization for
the check to |
the regional superintendent
of the educational service region |
in which are located the school districts
in which the |
applicant is seeking employment as a substitute or concurrent
|
part-time teacher or concurrent educational support personnel |
employee.
Upon receipt of this authorization, the school |
district or the appropriate
regional superintendent, as the |
case may be, shall submit the applicant's
name, sex, race, date |

|
teacher or concurrent educational support personnel employee |
that

Police
shall be provided to the applicant for employment. Upon |
the check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, the school |
district or regional superintendent shall notify an applicant |
as to whether or not the applicant has been identified in the |
Database as a sex offender. If a check of
an applicant for |
employment as a substitute or concurrent part-time teacher
or |
concurrent educational support personnel employee in more than |
one
school district was requested by the regional |
superintendent, and the
Department of State Police upon a check |

the enumerated criminal or drug offenses
in subsection (c)
or |
|
has not been convicted, within 7 years of the

have been punishable as a felony |
under the laws of this State and evidencing that as of the date |
that the regional superintendent conducted a check of the |
Statewide Sex Offender Database, the applicant has not been |
identified in the Database as a sex offender. The school
board |
of
any

located in the educational service |
region served by the regional
superintendent who issues such a |
certificate to an applicant for employment
as a substitute |
teacher in more than one such district may rely on the
|
certificate issued by the regional superintendent to that |
applicant, or may
initiate its own criminal history records |
check of the applicant through the Department of
State Police |
and its own check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database as |
provided in subsection (a). Any person who releases any
|
confidential information concerning any criminal convictions |

|
Controlled Substances Act; (iv) those defined in the |
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; and (v) |
any
offense committed or attempted in
any other state or |
against the laws of the United States, which if
committed or |
attempted in this State, would have been punishable as one or
|
more of the foregoing offenses.
Further, no school board shall |

to be the |
perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of any minor under 18 |
years
of age pursuant to proceedings under Article II of the |
Juvenile Court Act of
1987.
|
(d) No school board shall knowingly employ a person for |
whom a criminal
history records check and a Statewide Sex |
Offender Database check has not been initiated.

|
(f) After January 1, 1990 the provisions of this Section |
shall apply
to all employees of persons or firms holding |
contracts with any school
district including, but not limited |
to, food service workers, school bus
drivers and other |
transportation employees, who have direct, daily contact
with |
the pupils of any school in such district. For purposes of |
|
criminal
history records checks and checks of the Statewide Sex |
Offender Database on employees of persons or firms holding
|
contracts with more than one school district and assigned to |
more than one
school district, the regional superintendent of |
the educational service
region in which the contracting school |
districts are located may, at the
request of any such school |
district, be responsible for receiving the
authorization for
a |
criminal history records check prepared by each such employee |
and
submitting the same to the Department of State Police and |
for conducting a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database |
for each employee. Any information
concerning the record of |
conviction and identification as a sex offender of any such |
employee obtained by the
regional superintendent shall be |

employment in more than one
school district, or a teacher |
|
seeking concurrent part-time employment
positions with more |
than one school district (as a reading specialist,
special |
education teacher or otherwise), or an educational support
|
personnel employee seeking employment positions with more than |
one
district, any such district may require the applicant to |
furnish
authorization for
the check to the regional |
superintendent of the
educational service region in which are |
located the school districts in
which the applicant is seeking |
employment as a substitute or concurrent
part-time teacher or |
concurrent educational support personnel employee.
Upon |
receipt of this authorization, the school district or the |
appropriate
regional superintendent, as the case may be, shall |
submit the applicant's
name, sex, race, date of birth, social |
security number, fingerprint images, and other identifiers, as |
prescribed by the Department
of State Police, to the |
Department. The regional
superintendent submitting the |
requisite information to the Department of
State Police shall |
promptly notify the school districts in which the
applicant is |
seeking employment as a substitute or concurrent part-time
|
teacher or concurrent educational support personnel employee |
that
the
check of the applicant has been requested. The |
Department of State
Police and the Federal Bureau of |
Investigation shall furnish, pursuant to a fingerprint-based |
criminal history records check, records of convictions, until |
expunged, to the president of the school board for the school |
district that requested the check, or to the regional |
superintendent who requested the check. The
Department shall |
charge
the school district
or the appropriate regional |
superintendent a fee for
conducting
such check, which fee shall |
be deposited in the State
Police Services Fund and shall not |
exceed the cost of the inquiry; and the
applicant shall not be |
charged a fee for
such check by the school
district or by the |
regional superintendent. Subject to appropriations for these |
purposes, the State Superintendent of Education shall |
reimburse the school district and regional superintendent for |
fees paid to obtain criminal history records checks under this |
|
Section.
|
(a-5) The school district or regional superintendent shall |
further perform a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database, |
as authorized by the Sex Offender and Child Murderer Community |

|
(b) Any
information concerning the record of convictions |
obtained by the president
of the board of education or the |
regional superintendent shall be
confidential and may only be |
transmitted to the general superintendent of
the school |
district or his designee, the appropriate regional
|
superintendent if
the check was requested by the board of |
education
for the school district, the presidents of the |
appropriate board of
education or school boards if
the check |
was requested from the
Department of State Police by the |
regional superintendent, the State
Superintendent of |
Education, the State Teacher Certification Board or any
other |
person necessary to the decision of hiring the applicant for
|
employment. A copy of the record of convictions obtained from |
the
Department of State Police shall be provided to the |
applicant for
employment. Upon the check of the Statewide Sex |
Offender Database, the school district or regional |
superintendent shall notify an applicant as to whether or not |
the applicant has been identified in the Database as a sex |
offender. If a check of an applicant for employment as a
|
substitute or concurrent part-time teacher or concurrent |
educational
support personnel employee in more than one school |
district was requested
by the regional superintendent, and the |
Department of State Police upon
a check ascertains that the |
applicant has not been convicted of any
of the enumerated |
criminal or drug offenses in subsection (c)
or has not been
|
convicted,
within 7 years of the application for employment |
|
with the
school district, of any other felony under the laws of |
this State or of any
offense committed or attempted in any |
other state or against the laws of
the United States that, if |
committed or attempted in this State, would
have been |
punishable as a felony under the laws of this State and so
|
notifies the regional superintendent and if the regional |
superintendent upon a check ascertains that the applicant has |
not been identified in the Sex Offender Database as a sex |
offender, then the regional superintendent
shall issue to the |
applicant a certificate evidencing that as of the date
|
specified by the Department of State Police the applicant has |
not been
convicted of any of the enumerated criminal or drug |
offenses in subsection
(c)
or has not been
convicted, within 7 |
years of the application for employment with the
school |
district, of any other felony under the laws of this State or |
of any
offense committed or attempted in any other state or |
against the laws of
the United States that, if committed or |
attempted in this State, would
have been punishable as a felony |
under the laws of this State and evidencing that as of the date |
that the regional superintendent conducted a check of the |
Statewide Sex Offender Database, the applicant has not been |
identified in the Database as a sex offender. The school
board |
of any school district located
in
the educational
service |
region served by the regional superintendent who issues such a
|
certificate to an applicant for employment as a substitute or |
concurrent
part-time teacher or concurrent educational support |
personnel employee in more
than one such district may rely on |
the certificate issued by the regional
superintendent to that |
applicant, or may initiate its own criminal history records |
check of
the applicant through the Department of State Police |
and its own check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database as |
provided in
subsection (a). Any person who releases any |
confidential information
concerning any criminal convictions |
of an applicant for employment shall be
guilty of a Class A |
misdemeanor, unless the release of such information is
|
authorized by this Section.
|
|
(c) The board of education shall not knowingly employ a |

any
offense committed or attempted in any other state or |
against the laws of
the United States, which if committed or |
attempted in this State, would
have been punishable as one or |
more of the foregoing offenses.
Further, the board of education |
shall not knowingly employ a person who has

the perpetrator of sexual or physical abuse of any minor under
|
18 years of age pursuant to proceedings under Article II of the |
Juvenile Court
Act of 1987.
|
(d) The board of education shall not knowingly employ a |
person for whom
a criminal history records check and a |

Code, the board of education or the State Superintendent of
|
Education shall initiate the certificate suspension and |
revocation
proceedings authorized by law.
|
(f) After March 19, 1990, the provisions of this Section |
shall apply to
all employees of persons or firms holding |
contracts with any school district
including, but not limited |
to, food service workers, school bus drivers and
other |
transportation employees, who have direct, daily contact with |
the
pupils of any school in such district. For purposes of |
criminal history records checks and checks of the Statewide Sex |
|
Offender Database on employees of persons or firms holding |
contracts with more
than one school district and assigned to |
more than one school district, the
regional superintendent of |
the educational service region in which the
contracting school |
districts are located may, at the request of any such
school |
district, be responsible for receiving the authorization for
a |
criminal history records check prepared by each such employee |
and submitting the same to the
Department of State Police and |
for conducting a check of the Statewide Sex Offender Database |
for each employee. Any information concerning the record of
|
conviction and identification as a sex offender of any such |
employee obtained by the regional superintendent
shall be |
promptly reported to the president of the appropriate school |
board
or school boards.

Agencies Data
System (LEADS) for the purpose of effecting an |
immediate law enforcement
response to reports of missing |
children. The Department shall implement an

enforcement agencies when |
responding to reports of missing children and (2)
to provide a |
factual and statistical base for research that would address
|
the problem of missing children.
|
(i) Create a quality control program to monitor timeliness |
of entries of
missing children reports into LEADS and conduct |
performance audits of all
entering agencies.
|
(j) Prepare a periodic information bulletin concerning |
missing children
who it determines may be present in this |
State, compiling such bulletin from
information contained in |
both the National Crime Information Center computer
