 2        Be it  enacted  by  the  People  of  the  State  of  Illinois,

 8    Parent-teacher advisory committee.
 9        (a)  To establish and maintain a parent-teacher  advisory
10    committee  to develop with the school board policy guidelines
11    on pupil discipline, including school searches, to furnish  a
12    copy  of  the policy to the parents or guardian of each pupil
13    within 15 days after the beginning of  the  school  year,  or
14    within  15  days  after  starting  classes  for  a  pupil who
15    transfers into the district during the school  year,  and  to
16    require  that  each school informs its pupils of the contents
17    of its policy.  School boards, along with the  parent-teacher
18    advisory  committee,  are encouraged to annually review their
19    pupil  discipline  policies,  the  implementation  of   those
20    policies,  and  any  other  factors  related to the safety of
21    their schools, pupils, and staff.
22        (b)  The parent-teacher advisory committee in cooperation
23    with local law enforcement agencies shall develop,  with  the
24    school  board,  policy  guideline procedures to establish and
25    maintain a reciprocal reporting  system  between  the  school
26    district   and   local  law  enforcement  agencies  regarding
27    criminal offenses committed by students.
28        (c)  The   parent-teacher    advisory    committee,    in
29    cooperation  with  school  bus personnel, shall develop, with
30    the school board, policy guideline  procedures  to  establish
31    and  maintain school bus safety procedures.  These procedures

 1    shall be incorporated into the  district's  pupil  discipline
 2    policy.
 3        (d)  The   school   board,   in   consultation  with  the
 4    parent-teacher advisory committee and  other  community-based
 5    organizations,   must   include  provisions  in  the  student
 6    discipline policy to address students who  have  demonstrated
 7    behaviors  that  put  them  at risk for aggressive  behavior,
 8    including without limitation  bullying,  as  defined  in  the
 9    policy.    These   provisions  must  include  procedures  for
10    notifying parents or legal guardians and  early  intervention
11    procedures  based upon available community-based and district
12    resources.
