Background
|
At the July Board of Education meeting, the Board approved revised policy 5.90 which incorporates changes based on Faith’s Law that was made into law in 2021 and was updated in 2023. Faith’s Law established the definition of sexual misconduct within the School Code; expanded the definition of “grooming” in the Illinois Criminal Code; focuses on the prevention of sexual misconduct; adds employment history reviews as part of the hiring and vetting process; requires notices to be provided to parents/guardians and the applicable student when there’s an alleged act of sexual misconduct, and makes other changes to the process schools must follow when handling allegations of sexual misconduct. This law supports and complements the ongoing multi-faceted approach District 200 is taking to ensure a physically and emotionally safe environment for all students.
