The Annual School Calendar for 2007-2008 is published by IASB in order to assist school districts to prepare their local school calendars. Dates contained in this calendar comply with all statutory deadlines contained in the Election Code, School Code and selected acts of the General Assembly. It does not contain dates imposed by the State Board of Education or its regulations.

The school calendar is not distributed in a printed version; however, it is posted online so that it is available more quickly and allows for revisions to reflect any new legislation enacted or the correction of any errors.

Subscribers to IASB's 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.

NOTES:

1. This year's calendar reflects recent changes to Daylight Savings Time, which ends Nov. 4, 2007, and resumes March 9, 2008.
2. The state's General Primary Election has been moved from March to Feb. 5, 2008. This change results in earlier deadlines for submitting public policy questions and certification of the same. Public Act 95-0006, effective June 20, 2007, made these changes.
3. Public Act 95-0496, effective Aug. 28, 2007, changes the reporting requirements for high school students enrolled in accredited courses in community colleges. This Act removes the requirement that the school report to the regional superintendent. Instead, schools now report directly to the State Board of Education.
4. The same Act also changes the reporting requirement for drop-outs. PA 95-0496 eliminates the requirement that regional superintendents report the information to the State Board of Education.
