Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 34-6. Superintendent of schools.

After June 30, 1999, the board
may, by a vote of a majority of its full membership, appoint a
general superintendent of schools to serve pursuant to a performance-based
contract for a term ending on June 30th of the third calendar year after
his or her appointment.  He shall be the chief administrative officer of
the board and shall have charge and
control, subject to the approval of the board and to other
provisions of this Article, of all departments and the
employees therein of public schools, except the law department. He shall
negotiate contracts with all
labor organizations which are exclusive representatives of educational
employees employed under the
Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act. All contracts shall be subject to
approval of the Board of Education. The board may conduct a
national
search for a general superintendent.  An incumbent general superintendent
may not be precluded from being included in such national search.
Persons appointed pursuant to this Section shall be exempt from the
provisions and requirements of Sections 21-1a, 21-7.1, and 21B-15 of this Code.
