22    Sec. 27-23.6. Anti-bias education.
23    (a) The General Assembly finds that there is a significant
24increase in violence in the schools and that much of that
25violence is the result of intergroup tensions. The General

 

 

HB3690 Engrossed- 78 -LRB103 29661 RJT 56063 b

1Assembly further finds that anti-bias education and intergroup
2conflict resolution are effective methods for preventing
3violence and lessening tensions in the schools and that these
4methods are most effective when they are respectful of
5individuals and their divergent viewpoints and religious
6beliefs, which are protected by the First Amendment to the
7Constitution of the United States.

10address intergroup conflict, with the objectives of improving
11intergroup relations on and beyond the school campus, defusing
12intergroup tensions, and promoting peaceful resolution of
13conflict. The activities must be respectful of individuals and

6    Sec. 27-23.10. Gang resistance education and training.
7    (a) (Blank). The General Assembly finds that the instance
8of youth delinquent gangs continues to rise on a statewide
9basis. Given the higher rates of criminal offending among gang
10members, as well as the availability of increasingly lethal
11weapons, the level of criminal activity by gang members has
12taken on new importance for law enforcement agencies, schools,
13the community, and prevention efforts.
14    (b) As used in this Section:
15    "Gang resistance education and training" means and
16includes instruction in, without limitation, each of the
17following subject matters when accompanied by a stated
18objective of reducing gang activity and educating children in
19grades K through 12 about the consequences of gang

1elementary or secondary school in this State may make suitable
2provisions for instruction in gang resistance education and
3training in all grades and include that instruction in the
4courses of study regularly taught in those grades. For the
5purposes of gang resistance education and training, a school
6board or the governing body of a non-public, non-sectarian
7elementary or secondary school must collaborate with State and
8local law enforcement agencies. The State Board of Education
9may assist in the development of instructional materials and
10teacher training in relation to gang resistance education and

13an individualized educational program team, or a qualified
14professional worker (as defined in Section 14-1.10 of this

16appropriate medical practitioner or prohibit school personnel
