Sec. 13‑40.
To increase the effectiveness of the Department of Corrections and
thereby to better serve the interests of the people of Illinois the
following bill is presented.
Its purpose is to enhance the quality and scope of education for
inmates and wards within the Department of Corrections so that they will
be better motivated and better equipped to restore themselves to
constructive and law abiding lives in the community. The specific
measure sought is the creation of a school district within the
Department so that its educational programs can meet the needs of
persons committed and so the resources of public education at the state
and federal levels are best used, all of the same being contemplated
within the provisions of the Illinois State Constitution of 1970 which
provides that "A fundamental goal of the People of the State is the
educational development of all persons to the limits of their
capacities." Therefore, on July 1, 1972, a Department of Corrections
school district is established for the education of inmates and wards
within the Department of Corrections and the said district may establish
primary, secondary, vocational, adult, special and advanced educational
schools as provided in this Act. The
Board of Education for this district shall with the aid and advice of
professional educational personnel of the Department of Corrections and
the State Board of Education determine the
needs and type of schools and the curriculum for each school within the
school district and may proceed to establish the same through existing
means within present and future appropriations, federal and state school
funds, vocational rehabilitation grants and funds and all other funds,
gifts and grants, private or public, including federal funds, but not
exclusive to the said sources but inclusive of all funds which might be
available for school purposes. The school district shall first organize
a school system for the Adult Division of the Department of Corrections
to go into effect July 1, 1972. A school system for the Juvenile
Division shall subsequently be organized and put into effect under this
school district at such time as the school board shall determine
necessary.
