Section 207.30 - Required Submission Processa) Each absenteeism and truancy policy adopted under this Part must be updated every 2 years and filed with the State Board of Education and the regional superintendent of schools (see Section 22-92(b) of the School Code [105 ILCS 5 ]). No later than September 30, 2022, or no later than September 30 of the first full school year a school becomes subject to this Part, each school or district must file the policy through the State Board of Education's Illinois Web Application Security (IWAS) system and must submit an updated policy every two years thereafter no later than September 30 of the year due. 1) If applicable, the submission in IWAS must include a link to the policy on the school's or district's website.2) The school or district must submit the entire updated policy with the amendment or modification date (indicated by month, date, and year) included in the reference portion of the policy.3) If, after review and re-evaluation of its absenteeism and truancy policy, the school or district determines that no updates are necessary, a copy of board minutes or a signed statement from the board president clearly indicating that the policy was reevaluated and no changes were determined to be necessary must be submitted electronically through the IWAS system with the State Board of Education. If the school does not have a board or board president, the school's chief school administrator must submit the signed statement.b) The State Board of Education will grant each regional superintendent access to the IWAS application that contains the absenteeism and truancy policies for every school and district in the region. This access will meet the requirement in subsection (a) that schools or districts file policies with the regional superintendent but does not prevent the regional superintendent from collecting the policy through any other means.Ill.
