Summary

Amends the School Code. Provides that of the 4 days annually that a regional superintendent may arrange for or conduct district, regional, or county institutes, 2 days may be used as a teacher's and educational support personnel workshop (instead of just a teacher's workshop). Provides that the days in any school year spent by educational support personnel during the term time spent in attendance upon a teachers' institute shall be considered time expended in the service of the school district and no deduction of wages shall be made for such attendance. Allows a school board to make a pro-rata deduction from the salary of any educational support personnel who fail or refuse to attend the teachers' institute.

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 1578 has removed restrictions that previously limited the use of certain institute days for professional development and parent-teacher conferences. Now, schools can utilize those days for various educational gatherings, even if they aren't directly related to health and safety issues. This change expands the opportunities for teachers to receive training and improves their professional development, which can ultimately benefit student education.
