Revised: October 17, 2006

The Annual School Calendar for 2006-2007published by IASB has been updated to accommodate the following corrections:

• The school district must establish and implement procedures for evaluating principals no later than February 1 of the year in which the principal's employment contract expires. Otherwise, the contract is deemed renewed for another year.  See Public Act 94-1039, effective July 20, 2006.
• Federal legislation moves the start of Daylight Savings Time from April 1 to March 11 in 2007.
• The first day that prospective candidates for the 2007 school board election may circulate nominating petitions for signature is November 7.  The original calendar listed November 8, which was incorrect.

NOTES:

1. The IASB Annual Calendar is not being distributed in a printed version this year. Putting it on the web instead makes it available more quickly and allows for revisions to reflect any new legislation enacted or the correction of any errors. Subscribers to Online Update will be notified of any revisions.   If you find any errors in the calendar that need to be corrected, please email the information to dsullivan@iasb.com.
2. The annual calendar adopted by the school board must now be approved by the regional superintendent of schools, as must any changes to the calendar, as provided in Public Act 93-1036 in amending Section 10-19 of The School Code.
3. Public Act 94-875 makes a number of changes that are referenced at several dates in  the Annual Calendar.  This Act is extremely large, so some relevant portions have been excerpted on the IASB Web site for easy access by local school officials.   Specifically:
4. PA 94-875 is cited at November 30 regarding new requirements bearing on the Annual Financial Report.
5. The same Act is cited at July 10 and 25 and August 15 regarding the filing of transportation claims with the state.
