Introduced Text

Illinois HB2651 requires the State Board of Education to identify and share days when students may miss school events due to observances.

Illinois HB2651 amends the School Code to mandate the State Board of Education to identify days when students may miss major school events due to cultural, religious, or other observances. By February 1 each year, the Board must distribute a nonexhaustive list of these days and dates to school districts, regional offices of education, and other relevant entities. The list serves as a resource for scheduling major school events, which include tests, special projects, and extracurricular activities.
