Definitions ........................................................................................................................................................................ 42  \nAbout the School Incident Reporting System and Relevant School Code  \nIllinois Compiled Statutes mandate that certain types of incidents (e.g. , drugs, weapons, and attacks on school personnel) occurring in or on school property be reported to local law enforcement authorities and the Illinois State Police (ISP) within one to three days after the incident occurred. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), in conjunction with the ISP, has created the School Incident Reporting System (SIRS) to satisfy this requirement. SIRS is a web-based application used by schools to report incidents electronically. Reporting incidents in SIRS does not satisfy the requirement to report incidents to local law enforcement authorities.  \nAll public schools are required to report incidents in SIRS. Additionally, all Category 3 nonsectarian, nonpublic schools are required to report incidents in SIRS. Nonsectarian Category 3 entities will have Type codes of 01, 06, or 19 in their RCDTS code. The Type code can be found in the fourth block of numbers in the RCDTS code of an entity.  \nThe School Code mandates incident reporting as follows:  \nFirearms in Schools  \n(105 ILCS 5/10-27.1A)  \nSec. 10-27. 1A. Firearms in schools.  \n(a) All school officials, including teachers, school counselors, and support staff, shall immediately notify the office of the principal in the event that they observe any person in possession of a firearm on school grounds; provided that taking such immediate action to notify the office of the principal would not immediately endanger the health, safety, or welfare of students who are under the direct supervision of the school official or the school official. If the health, safety, or welfare of students under the direct supervision of the school official or of the school official is immediately endangered, the school official shall notify the office of the principal as soon as the students under his or her supervision and he or she are no longer under immediate danger. A report is not required by this Section when the school official knows that the person in possession of the firearm is a law enforcement official engaged in the condu","cbCaimtwWfTBVLR2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimtwWfTBVLR2","pdf",2107911,"English","# About the School Incident Reporting System and Relevant School Code\n# SIRS Main Page\n# Reporting an Incident\n## Incident Information\n## Offender Information\n## Victim Information\n# Approving an Entry\n# Revising a Disapproved Entry\n# Appendix: Definitions","[{\"question\":\"What requirement does SIRS help schools meet in Illinois?\",\"answer\":\"SIRS helps satisfy Illinois requirements to report certain incidents occurring on school property to local law enforcement authorities and the Illinois State Police within one to three days after the incident occurs.\"},{\"question\":\"Does reporting incidents in SIRS satisfy the requirement to notify local law enforcement?\",\"answer\":\"No. Reporting incidents in SIRS does not satisfy the requirement to report incidents to local law enforcement authorities.\"},{\"question\":\"Who must report incidents in SIRS?\",\"answer\":\"All public schools are required to report incidents in SIRS, and Category 3 nonsectarian, nonpublic schools are also required to report incidents in SIRS.\"}]","School Incident Reporting System User’s Guide - March 2026 | PDF",1791602490,126]
