	2846	+	17 Sec. 22-80. Student athletes; concussions and head
	2847	+	18 injuries.
	2848	+	19 (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
	2849	+	20 (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
	2850	+	21 injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
	2851	+	22 sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
	2852	+	23 Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
	2853	+	24 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related
	2854	+	25 concussions occur in the United States each year. A

	2864	+	SB1740 - 80 - LRB104 05609 LNS 15639 b
	2865	+	1 concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
	2866	+	2 body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
	2867	+	3 skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death is
	2868	+	4 significant when a concussion or head injury is not
	2869	+	5 properly evaluated and managed.
	2870	+	6 (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
	2871	+	7 range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
	2872	+	8 normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
	2873	+	9 unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
	2874	+	10 from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
	2875	+	11 ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
	2876	+	12 without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
	2877	+	13 concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
	2878	+	14 (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms
	2879	+	15 of a head injury leaves a young athlete especially
	2880	+	16 vulnerable to greater injury and even death. The General
	2881	+	17 Assembly recognizes that, despite having generally
	2882	+	18 recognized return-to-play standards for concussions and
	2883	+	19 head injuries, some affected youth athletes are
	2884	+	20 prematurely returned to play, resulting in actual or
	2885	+	21 potential physical injury or death to youth athletes in
	2886	+	22 this State.
	2887	+	23 (4) Student athletes who have sustained a concussion
	2888	+	24 may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications
	2889	+	25 of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff
	2890	+	26 until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all

	3560	+	14 child's parent or guardian written notification, before the
	3561	+	15 vision screening is conducted, that states, "Vision screening

	3597	+	15 because of a parent's or guardian's failure to obtain a
	3598	+	16 developmental screening or a social and emotional screening
	3599	+	17 for the child. Once a developmental screening or a social and

	3813	+	15 However, the health care provider's signature on the

	3910	+	4 (a) The General Assembly finds that a safe and civil
	3911	+	5 school environment is necessary for students to learn and
	3912	+	6 achieve and that bullying causes physical, psychological, and
	3913	+	7 emotional harm to students and interferes with students'
	3914	+	8 ability to learn and participate in school activities. The
	3915	+	9 General Assembly further finds that bullying has been linked
	3916	+	10 to other forms of antisocial behavior, such as vandalism,
	3917	+	11 shoplifting, skipping and dropping out of school, fighting,
	3918	+	12 using drugs and alcohol, sexual harassment, and sexual
	3919	+	13 violence. Because of the negative outcomes associated with
	3920	+	14 bullying in schools, the General Assembly finds that school
	3921	+	15 districts, charter schools, and non-public, non-sectarian
	3922	+	16 elementary and secondary schools should educate students,
	3923	+	17 parents, and school district, charter school, or non-public,
	3924	+	18 non-sectarian elementary or secondary school personnel about
	3925	+	19 what behaviors constitute prohibited bullying.

	3954	+	13 (3) through the transmission of information from a

	3964	+	23 item (4) applies only in cases in which a school
	3965	+	24 administrator or teacher receives a report that bullying

2485		-	21 Sec. 22-80. Student athletes; concussions and head
2486		-	22 injuries.
2487		-	23 (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
2488		-	24 (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
2489		-	25 injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
2490		-

2500		-	1 sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
2501		-	2 Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
2502		-	3 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related
2503		-	4 concussions occur in the United States each year. A
2504		-	5 concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
2505		-	6 body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
2506		-	7 skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death is
2507		-	8 significant when a concussion or head injury is not
2508		-	9 properly evaluated and managed.
2509		-	10 (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
2510		-	11 range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
2511		-	12 normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
2512		-	13 unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
2513		-	14 from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
2514		-	15 ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
2515		-	16 without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
2516		-	17 concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
2517		-	18 (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms
2518		-	19 of a head injury leaves a young athlete especially
2519		-	20 vulnerable to greater injury and even death. The General
2520		-	21 Assembly recognizes that, despite having generally
2521		-	22 recognized return-to-play standards for concussions and
2522		-	23 head injuries, some affected youth athletes are
2523		-	24 prematurely returned to play, resulting in actual or
2524		-	25 potential physical injury or death to youth athletes in
2525		-	26 this State.

2537		-	2 may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications
2538		-	3 of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff
2539		-	4 until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all

	4877	+	4 (2) The complainant and respondent and any witnesses
	4878	+	5 may not directly or through a representative question one
	4879	+	6 another. At the discretion of the individual resolving the

	4920	+	11 evidence and witnesses on their behalf during the complaint
	4921	+	12 resolution procedure.
	4922	+	13 (f) The complainant and respondent and any named
	4923	+	14 perpetrator directly impacted by the results of the complaint

3549		-	8 (a) The General Assembly finds that a safe and civil
3550		-	9 school environment is necessary for students to learn and
3551		-	10 achieve and that bullying causes physical, psychological, and
3552		-	11 emotional harm to students and interferes with students'
3553		-	12 ability to learn and participate in school activities. The
3554		-	13 General Assembly further finds that bullying has been linked
3555		-	14 to other forms of antisocial behavior, such as vandalism,
3556		-	15 shoplifting, skipping and dropping out of school, fighting,
3557		-	16 using drugs and alcohol, sexual harassment, and sexual
3558		-	17 violence. Because of the negative outcomes associated with
3559		-	18 bullying in schools, the General Assembly finds that school
3560		-	19 districts, charter schools, and non-public, non-sectarian
3561		-	20 elementary and secondary schools should educate students,
3562		-	21 parents, and school district, charter school, or non-public,
3563		-	22 non-sectarian elementary or secondary school personnel about
3564		-	23 what behaviors constitute prohibited bullying.

	9058	+	22 district's implementation of an e-learning program under
	9059	+	23 Section 10-20.56.
	9060	+	24 (3) If the district does not implement an e-learning
