Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
Starting July 1, 2027, any charter school that the Illinois State Board of Education currently authorizes, is located outside a large city district, and enrolls students from more than one district (or from a district with at least 29,000 students) will have its authorizer role moved to the local school board(s) that serve its students. The move shifts all authorizing powers, contracts, and pending business to those local boards, sets a uniform seven‑year contract term, and requires joint oversight if several districts are involved.
