The Illinois Congress cited a new bill that explicitly hindered the urgency of protecting the student’s civil rights in the second Trump administration, and explicitly hindered the school police to issue a ticket or fined for fraud. I submitted it.
The law also requires the district to track police activities at school and disclose it to the state. Data collection suggested that the federal authorities emphasized their role in the execution of civil rights, and became more imminent.
The 2022 Propublica and CHICAGO TRIBUNE survey “The Price Kids Pay” is banned from the Illinois law that the school officials are prohibited directly from the school officials. I discovered that I would skirt the law by calling the police to issue a quote. It turned out that black students could get tickets at school more than white friends.
Following the news survey, the governor, state coach, and members of the Diet urged the school to stop the school, but legislative efforts have repeatedly stagnated. The bill introduced on Monday in Illinois has adopted a new approach to end the police ticketing at school by clarifying that police can arrest students for crime or violence. It is not possible to ticket tickets to students to violate local ordinances that prohibit violations that prohibit disorderly infringement. Action, school refusal, other actions.
The distinction was not clear in the previous version of the law, which led to the concern that the school could not involve the police in serious problems. Tickets issued for civil law violations of local law are often argued in administrative hearing in which students do not acquire legal agents.
La Sean Ford, a member of the Democratic Party from Chicago and a chief sponsor of the bill, said how the ticket students have failed for the vary. 。 He stated that it is important to disclose what kind of police interactions are being performed to monitor civil rights infringement and other concerns.
“We definitely need to make sure that we are enrolled in what we believe in the law. Trump policies cannot determine our moral,” Ford says. I did it. “Our school must be a place to protect students from pipelines from school to prison.”
What we are looking at
Propobika focuses on areas that require scrutiny during the second President of Donald Trump. Here are some of the issues that reporters watch and how to contact them safely.
We are doing something new. Was it useful?
Several defenders, along with the Illinois State Board of Education, have a new energy behind a more powerful and more accurate version of the law that failed in the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions.
Previous bills have never been completely voted in both rooms. The Illinois Police Association was one of the people opposed to the bill for fear of restricting the police’s response to criminal acts.
Patrick Chrys, the vice president of the Chiefs Association, said that the group agreed with the police who escaped from student disciplinary issues such as school refusal and Vaping. He hasn’t seen a new bill yet, but the group cooperates with the members and says, “I understand that there is a way to do this job and do this job, and understand that fundamental concerns have been raised. I will do it. ”
Aimee Galvin, a non -profit organization in Illinois, which promotes the fairness and racial justice, guarantees that he tracks the police involvement is a way to “prove” students’ civil rights. I said.
“I want to see this data in Illinois,” Galvin said. “When the policy is changed [U.S. Department of Education]We lose all data about how schools are interacting with the enforcement agency. That is really about us. “
The Ministry of Education’s Civil Rights Division has collected a wide range of information about the frequency of the police and the frequency of students arrested. President Donald Trump says he wants to dismantle the division, and it is not clear how to collect civil rights data. The federal government has never monitor student tickets.
The second bill, which aims to suppress police activities at school, will be submitted to the Illinois State on Tuesday. In addition, we aim to end the ticket, but there is a possibility that school managers will prohibit calling the police to write tickets as a disciplinary result, which may take a different approach from the house version. 。 In addition, school refusal students and their parents are prohibited to be fined.
Calina Villa, a Democratic member from West Sikago, a Ford and Senate sponsor, said that he was hoping to narrow down the final version of the law with a wide range of support on the debate on the two laws.
Following the investigation of “price children’s salary”, including the investigation of the State Prosecutor’s General Bureau, confirming that the school manager asks the police to the ticket to the ticket, and the investigation of the “Price Children’s Sales”, a fragmentary of reforms. There were some changes and efforts. The survey found that a large -scale suburbs in the suburbs of Chicago had instructed excellent students and had an impact on blacks and Latin students. State’s biggest legal authorities declared that the practices were illegal and said they should stop.
However, a new law sponsor of the lower house and the Senate said that without it, practices would continue. According to the records, the police based in the school are East Pioria, Montmas, for various violations such as East Pioria and Montmas in Central Illinois for the past year. Shows that the ticket was issued. Battle and drinking with alcohol.
In a town, students were fined $ 450 this fall to have cannabis. The other is a fine of dozens of students and their families for school refusal to the collection.
AG in Illinois stated that it was illegal for school to use the police to ticket. But his office talked only to one district.
“They should not be fined to their families, and should not be instructed to issue a ticket to the officers,” Villa said about the school where students receive tickets. “Our bills are to stop practicing.”
Other state leaders also say that they want to end their students’ tickets at school, such as Governor JB Pritzker and Tony Sanders, the principal of the state school. The Illinois Board of Education has hindered students from receiving tickets at school, one of the legislative priority in this session in December.
Jackie Matthew, a spokesman at the Board of Directors, said that the change in law would be “especially for the imbalanced effect on this practice to a colorful student.”
“We continue to cooperate with stakeholders and members to reach a solution to protect students,” she said.
