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).
