Sec. 22-15. Insurance on athletes.
(a) In this Section, "IHSA" means the Illinois High School Association. (b) A public school district maintaining grades 9 through 12 shall provide catastrophic accident insurance coverage, with aggregate benefit limits of $3 million or 5 years, whichever occurs first, for eligible students in grades 9 through 12 who sustain an accidental injury while participating in school-sponsored or school-supervised interscholastic athletic events sanctioned by the IHSA (including direct and uninterrupted travel to and from the athletic event as well as during a temporary stay at the location of an athletic event held away from the student's school) that results in medical expenses in excess of $50,000. These benefit limits are to be in excess of any and all other insurance, coverage or benefit, in whatever form or designation.
Any public school that requires students participating in school-sponsored or school-supervised interscholastic athletic events sanctioned by the IHSA (including direct and uninterrupted travel to and from the athletic event as well as during a temporary stay at the location of an athletic event
held away from the student's school) to be covered under an individual or group policy of accident and health insurance is exempt from the requirements of this Section. Non-public schools maintaining grades 9 through 12 shall provide catastrophic accident insurance coverage, with aggregate benefit limits of $3 million or 5 years, whichever occurs first, for eligible students in grades 9 through 12 who sustain an accidental injury while participating in school-sponsored or school-supervised interscholastic athletic tournaments sanctioned by the IHSA (including direct and uninterrupted travel to and from the athletic tournament as well as during a temporary stay at the location of an athletic tournament held away from the student's school) that results in medical expenses in excess of $50,000. These benefit limits are to be in excess of any and all other insurance, coverage or benefit, in whatever form or designation. Any non-public school that requires students participating in school-sponsored or school-supervised interscholastic athletic events sanctioned by the IHSA (including direct and uninterrupted travel to and from the athletic event as well as during a temporary stay at the location of an athletic event
held away from the student's school) to be covered under an individual or group policy of accident and health insurance is exempt from the requirements of this Section. (c) The IHSA has the exclusive authority to promulgate a plan of coverage necessary to ensure compliance with this Section. The IHSA shall provide a group policy providing the coverage necessary to comply with this Section. Public school districts and non-public schools may purchase the coverage necessary to comply with this Section by participating in the group policy. Alternatively, public school districts or non-public schools that do not participate in the group policy may obtain the coverage necessary to comply with this Section from other coverage providers, but must submit to the IHSA, 60 days before the coverage inception, a certificate of insurance from the coverage provider stating that the insurance provided by the coverage provider is in compliance with the plan of coverage approved by the IHSA. A public school district that manages schools located within a city of over 500,000 inhabitants may provide the catastrophic accident insurance coverage required by this Section through a program of self-insurance, and the public school district must submit to the IHSA, 60 days before coverage inception, proof that the program is in compliance with the plan of coverage. (d) A public school district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8 may provide
medical or hospital service, or both, through accident and health insurance
on a group or individual basis, or through non-profit hospital service
corporations or medical service plan corporations or both, for pupils of
the district in grades kindergarten through 8 injured while participating in any athletic activity under the
jurisdiction of or sponsored or controlled by the district or the
authorities of any school thereof. The cost of such insurance or of
subscriptions to such non-profit corporations, when paid from the funds of
the district, shall, to the extent such moneys are sufficient, be paid from
moneys derived from athletic activities. To the extent that moneys derived
from athletic activities are insufficient, such cost may be paid from the
educational fund of the district. Such insurance may be purchased from or such subscriptions may be taken
in only such companies or corporations as are authorized to do business in
Illinois.

her color, race, nationality, sex, religion or religious affiliation, or that
any employee of
or applicant for employment or assignment with any such school district
has been questioned concerning his or her color, race, nationality, sex,
religion or religious affiliation or subjected to discrimination by reason thereof,
by or on behalf of the school board of such district, the State Board of
Education shall promptly mail a copy of such complaint to
the secretary or clerk of such school board.
The State Board of Education
shall fix a date, not less than 20 nor more than 30 days from the date of

The State Board of Education may also fix a date for a hearing whenever
it has reason to believe that such discrimination may exist in any school
district. Reasonable notice of the time and place of such hearing shall
be mailed to the secretary or
clerk of the school board and to the first signatory
to such complaint.
The State Board of Education may designate an assistant to conduct such

State Board of Education or the hearing officer appointed by
it, may, in its or his or her discretion, compel the attendance of witnesses,
the production of books, papers, records or memoranda and the giving of
testimony before the State Board of Education or the hearing
officer appointed by it conducting an investigation or holding a
hearing authorized by this Act, by an attachment for contempt, or
otherwise, in the same manner as production of evidence may be compelled

testimony shall be reported to the State Board of Education
within 60 days after the hearing recommences. The State Board of Education
shall notify both parties of its decision within 30
days after it receives a summary of the testimony from the hearing

Sec. 22-21.
Elections-Use of school buildings.
(a) Every school board shall offer to the appropriate officer or board
having responsibility for providing polling places for elections the use of
any and all buildings under its jurisdiction for any and all elections to
be held, if so requested by such appropriate officer or board.
(b) Election officers shall place 2 or more cones, small United States
national flags, or some other marker a distance of 100 horizontal feet from
each entrance to the room used by voters to engage in voting, which shall be
known as the polling room. If
the polling room is located within a building that is a public or private
school
and the
distance of 100 horizontal feet ends within the interior of the
building, then the markers shall be placed outside of the
building at each entrance used by voters to enter that
building on the grounds adjacent to the thoroughfare or walkway. If the polling
room is located within a public or private school building with 2 or more
floors and
the polling room is located on the ground floor, then the markers shall be
placed 100 horizontal feet from each entrance to the polling room used by
voters to engage in voting. If the polling room is located in a public or
private school building with 2 or more floors and the polling room is located
on a
floor above or below the ground floor,
then the markers shall be placed a distance of 100 feet from the nearest
elevator or staircase used by voters on the ground floor to access the floor
where the polling room is located. The area within where the markers are placed
shall be known as a campaign free zone, and electioneering is prohibited
pursuant to this subsection.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the area on polling place
property beyond the campaign free zone,
whether
publicly or privately owned, is a public forum for the time that the polls are
open on an election day. At the request of election officers any publicly owned
building must be made available for use as a polling place. A person shall have
the right to congregate and engage in electioneering on any polling place
property while the polls are open beyond the campaign free zone, including but
not limited to, the placement of temporary signs.
This subsection shall be construed liberally in favor of persons engaging in
electioneering
on all polling place property beyond the campaign free zone for the time that
the polls are open on an election day.
