Ill. Admin. Code tit. 23, § 240.60 - Supplemental Services and Instructional Time
The proposed calendar for the program shall be in conformance with the requirements of Section 13B-45 of the School Code [105 ILCS 5/13B-45 ]. A calendar that varies in the number of days or length of the instructional day (i.e., five clock-hours of school work) from those requirements shall be approved under the following conditions.
a) The calendar meets all
of the exceptions enumerated in Section 13B-45(1) through (4) of the School
Code.
b) The supplemental services,
provided pursuant to Section 13B-45(3) of the School Code, that are
noninstructional in nature (e.g., student assistance programs, counseling
services, case management, life skills or conflict resolution training, career
counseling, community service) shall be:
1)
directly linked to a need identified in the student's Student Success Plan
developed pursuant to Section
240.40 of
this Part and necessary to remove barriers to learning for that student (see
105 ILCS
5/13B-15.15(ii) );
2) provided by qualified personnel with the
experience and skills appropriate to the service being provided; and
3) monitored by Alternative Learning
Opportunities Program staff to ensure that the services provided are effective
in improving the student's academic achievement, as specified in his or her
Student Success Plan, so that the student can be returned to the regular school
program.
c) Activities
that are instructional in nature (e.g., work-based learning activities, service
learning, physical fitness and health programs) shall not be considered
supplemental services for the purposes of this Section. These shall be
considered to be part of the five clock-hours of school work required under
Section 18-8.05 of the School Code [105
ILCS 5/18-8.05 ], provided that:
1) the activity is an integral and regular
part of the academic instruction that the student is receiving and is tied to
one or more of the fundamental learning areas (see Section 27-1 of the School
Code);
2) the student receives
academic credit, in accordance with his or her district's policies for awarding
credit, upon successful completion of the activity; and
3) the activity is provided under the
direction of a teacher who holds the appropriate educator licensure (see
Section
240.30(f)(1)
of this Part).
