All previous non-regulatory guidance disseminated by ISBE regarding this Section of the School Code is replaced by this document.  \nOn August 11, 2023, Governor JB Pritzker signed into law Public Act 103-0549 (Senate Bill 1352), which made several significant changes to Section 24-14 of the Illinois School Code. This Section addresses teacher resignationsand potential licensure sanctions if a teacher fails to resign in accordance with the requirements set forth in the statute. The effective date of the Public Act is August 11, 2023.  \nPublic Act 103-0549 states as follows:  \nSec. 24-14. Termination of service by teacher. As used in this Section,“teaching assignment”means any full-time position that requires licensure under Article 21B of this Code.  \nA teacher, as defined in Section 24-11 of this Code may resign at any time by obtaining concurrence of the board. During the school term, no teacher may resign without the concurrence of the board, in order to accept another teaching assignment. Outside of a school term, a resignation submitted by any teacher after the completion of the school year must be submitted in writing to the secretary of the board a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to the first student attendance day of the following school year or else the teacher will be deemed to have resigned during the school term. Any teacher terminating said service not in accordance with this Section may be referred by the board to the State Superintendent of Education. A referral to the State Superintendent for an alleged violation of this Section must include (i) a dated copy of the teacher’s resignation letter,(ii) a copy of the reporting district’s current school year calendar,(iii) proof of employment for the school year at issue,(iv) documentation showing that the district’s board did not accept the teacher’s resignation, and (v) evidence that the teacher left the district in order to accept another teaching assignment.  \nIf the district intends to submit a referral to the State Superintendent, the district shall submit the referral to the State Superintendent within 10 business days after the board denies acceptance of the resignation. The district shall notify the teacher that it submitted the referral to the State Superintendent within 5 business days after submitting the referral to the State Superintendent. The State Superintendent or his or her designee shall convene an informal evidentiary hearing no later than 90 days after receipt of the required documentation from the school district as required in this Section. The teacher shall receive a written determination from the State Superintendent or his or her designee no later than 14 days after the hearing is completed. If the State Superintendent or his or her designee finds that the teacher resigned during the school term without the concurrence of the board to accept another teaching assignment, the State Superintendent must suspend the teacher’s license for one calendar year. In lieu of a hearing and finding, the teacher may agree toa lesser licensure sanction at the discretion of the State Superintendent or his or her designee.  \n(Effective August 11, 2023, Public Act 103-0549 .)  \nWhat’s Different?  \nPublic Act 103-0549 amended Section 24-14 to add clarity and context with respect to resignations and the submission of referrals to the State Superintendent for teachers who resign during the school term.
