The bill adds new provisions to the School Code regarding academic support services for at-risk students without changing existing law.

  • 105 ILCS 5/10-20.85

    Sec. 10-20.85. Academic support services; at-risk student. (a) In this Section, 'at-risk student' means a student who is at risk of dropping out of school because of his or her individual academic needs and who requires temporary or ongoing academic support services to achieve success in school. (b) Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, each school district must provide a parent or guardian of an at-risk student information about appropriate and available community-based or in-school academic support services. The academic support services may include, but are not limited to, any of the following: (1) Individual or small-group tutoring. (2) A summer school program. (3) A mentoring program. (4) Meeting with an academic advisor. A school district shall not be responsible for any costs or transportation associated with a student's participation in community-based academic support services under this subsection.

    This creates a new requirement for school districts to inform parents of at-risk students about available academic support services starting in the 2024-2025 school year.

  • 105 ILCS 5/34-18.82

    Sec. 34-18.82. Academic support services; at-risk student. (a) In this Section, 'at-risk student' means a student who is at risk of dropping out of school because of his or her individual academic needs and who requires temporary or ongoing academic support services to achieve success in school. (b) Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, the school district must provide a parent or guardian of an at-risk student information about appropriate and available community-based or in-school academic support services. The academic support services may include, but are not limited to, any of the following: (1) Individual or small-group tutoring. (2) A summer school program. (3) A mentoring program. (4) Meeting with an academic advisor. The school district shall not be responsible for any costs or transportation associated with a student's participation in community-based academic support services under this subsection.

    This creates a similar requirement for a second type of school district regarding at-risk students and their access to academic support services.
