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

1conflict resolution are effective methods for preventing
2violence and lessening tensions in the schools and that these
3methods are most effective when they are respectful of
4individuals and their divergent viewpoints and religious
5beliefs, which are protected by the First Amendment to the
6Constitution of the United States.
7    (b) Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, public
8elementary and secondary schools may incorporate activities to
9address intergroup conflict, with the objectives of improving
10intergroup relations on and beyond the school campus, defusing
11intergroup tensions, and promoting peaceful resolution of
12conflict. The activities must be respectful of individuals and
13their divergent viewpoints and religious beliefs, which are

5    Sec. 27-23.10. Gang resistance education and training.
6    (a) The General Assembly finds that the instance of youth
7delinquent gangs continues to rise on a statewide basis. Given
8the higher rates of criminal offending among gang members, as
9well as the availability of increasingly lethal weapons, the
10level of criminal activity by gang members has taken on new
11importance for law enforcement agencies, schools, the
12community, and prevention efforts.
13    (b) As used in this Section:
14    "Gang resistance education and training" means and
15includes instruction in, without limitation, each of the
16following subject matters when accompanied by a stated
17objective of reducing gang activity and educating children in
18grades K through 12 about the consequences of gang
19involvement:
20        (1) conflict resolution;
21        (2) cultural sensitivity;
22        (3) personal goal setting; and
23        (4) resisting peer pressure.
24    (c) Each school district and non-public, non-sectarian
25elementary or secondary school in this State may make suitable

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

19nervous system.
20    "Psychotropic medication" means psychotropic medication as
21defined in Section 1-121.1 of the Mental Health and
22Developmental Disabilities Code.
23    (b) The board must adopt and implement a policy that
24prohibits any disciplinary action that is based totally or in
25part on the refusal of a student's parent or guardian to

 

 

HB3690 Enrolled- 54 -LRB103 29661 RJT 56063 b

1administer or consent to the administration of psychotropic or
2psychostimulant medication to the student.
3    The policy must require that, at least once every 2 years,
4the in-service training of certified school personnel and
5administrators include training on current best practices
6regarding the identification and treatment of attention
7deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
8the application of non-aversive behavioral interventions in
9the school environment, and the use of psychotropic or
10psychostimulant medication for school-age children.
11    (c) This Section does not prohibit school medical staff,
12an individualized educational program team, or a qualified
13professional worker (as defined in Section 14-1.10 of this
14Code) from recommending that a student be evaluated by an
15appropriate medical practitioner or prohibit school personnel
16from consulting with the practitioner with the consent of the
17student's parents or guardian.

20    Sec. 34-18.54. Implicit bias training.
21    (a) The General Assembly makes the following findings:
22        (1) implicit racial bias influences evaluations of and
23    behavior toward those who are the subject of the bias;
24        (2) understanding implicit racial bias is needed in
25    order to reduce that bias;

 

 

HB3690 Enrolled- 55 -LRB103 29661 RJT 56063 b

1        (3) marginalized students would benefit from having
2    access to educators who have worked to reduce their
3    biases; and
4        (4) training that helps educators overcome implicit
5    racial bias has implication for classroom interactions,
6    student evaluation, and classroom engagement; it also
7    affects student academic self-concept.
8    (b) The board shall require in-service training for
9teachers, administrators, and school support personnel to
10include training to develop cultural competency, including
11understanding and reducing implicit racial bias as outlined in
12Sections 10-22.39 and 3-11.
13    (c) As used in this Section, "implicit racial bias" means
14a preference, positive or negative, for a racial or ethnic
15group that operates outside of awareness. This bias has 3
16different components: affective, behavioral, and cognitive.
