(105 ILCS 5/13-40) (from Ch. 122, par. 13-40)
Sec. 13-40. To increase the effectiveness of the Department of
Juvenile Justice and
thereby to better serve the interests of the people of Illinois the
following bill is presented.
Its purpose is to enhance the quality and scope of education for
inmates and wards within the Department of
Juvenile Justice so that they will
be better motivated and better equipped to restore themselves to
constructive and law-abiding lives in the community. The specific
measure sought is the creation of a school district within the
Department so that its educational programs can meet the needs of
persons committed and so the resources of public education at the state
and federal levels are best used, all of the same being contemplated
within the provisions of the Illinois State Constitution of 1970 which
provides that "A fundamental goal of the People of the State is the
educational development of all persons to the limits of their
capacities." Therefore, on July 1, 2006, the Department of
Corrections
school district shall be transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice. It shall be responsible for the education of youth
within the Department of
Juvenile Justice and inmates age 21 or under within the Department of Corrections who have not yet earned a high school diploma or a State of Illinois High School Diploma, and the district may establish
primary, secondary, vocational, adult, special, and advanced educational
schools as provided in this Act. The Department of Corrections retains authority as provided for in subsection (d) of Section 3-6-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The
Board of Education for this district shall with the aid and advice of
professional educational personnel of the Department of
Juvenile Justice and
the State Board of Education determine the
needs and type of schools and the curriculum for each school within the
school district and may proceed to establish the same through existing
means within present and future appropriations, federal and state school
funds, vocational rehabilitation grants and funds and all other funds,
gifts and grants, private or public, including federal funds, but not
exclusive to the said sources but inclusive of all funds which might be
available for school purposes.
