HB1728 Enrolled LRB9103264NTsb
AN ACT to amend the School Code by changing Sections
10-23.8 and 10-23.8a.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing
Sections 10-23.8 and 10-23.8a as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/10-23.8) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-23.8)
Sec. 10-23.8. Superintendent contracts. After the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997 and the
expiration of contracts in effect on the effective date of
this amendatory Act, school districts may only employ a
superintendent under either a contract for a period not
exceeding one year or a performance-based contract for a
period not exceeding 5 years.
Performance-based contracts shall be linked to student
performance and academic improvement within the schools of
the districts. No performance-based contract shall be
extended or rolled-over prior to its scheduled expiration
unless all the performance and improvement goals contained in
the contract have been met. Each performance-based contract
shall include the goals and indicators of student performance
and academic improvement determined and used by the local
school board to measure the performance and effectiveness of
the superintendent and such other information as the local
school board may determine.
By accepting the terms of a multi-year contract, the
superintendent waives all rights granted him or her under
Sections 24-11 through 24-16 of this Act only for the term of
the multi-year contract. Upon acceptance of a multi-year
contract, the superintendent shall not lose any previously
acquired tenure credit with the district duration of his or
her employment as superintendent in the district.

only employ principals and other school administrators under
either a contract for a period not to exceed one year or a
performance-based contract for a period not to exceed 5
years.
Performance-based contracts shall be linked to student
performance and academic improvement attributable to the
responsibilities and duties of the principal or
administrator. No performance-based contract shall be
extended or rolled-over prior to its scheduled expiration
unless all the performance and improvement goals contained in
the contract have been met. Each performance-based contract
shall include the goals and indicators of student performance
and academic improvement determined and used by the local
school board to measure the performance and effectiveness of
the principal or other administrator and such other

principal or administrator waives all rights granted him or
her under Sections 24-11 through 24-16 of this Act only for
the term of the multi-year contract. Upon acceptance of a
multi-year contract, the principal or administrator shall not
lose any previously acquired tenure credit with the district
duration of his or her employment as a principal or an
administrator in the district.
