Macon-Piatt ROE #39

SELf Academy begins in October! Registration is open now!

The Regional Crisis Response and Reunification Team, comprised of local school administrators/staff, law enforcement, fire, and emergency management, has been meeting and planning for over two years now to coordinate our school safety plans and to standardize our response methods. We recently had the opportunity to bring in Jason Kelley, a retired law enforcement office and instructor with the "I Love U Guys Foundation", for a full-day training on the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method. The training prepared the team to go out and train members of their organizations on the standardized methods. The safety of our area students is a priority, and we will continue to train and plan knowing that we are stronger together. If you would like to learn more about the "I Love U Guys Foundation", please visit iloveuguys.org.

BIG NEWS! As of Friday, August 9, 2024, HB 5057 has become law and is now PA 103-0846. The law has immediate implications for teacher candidates and preparation programs in Illinois: • The content test for teacher candidates, enrolled in traditional or apprenticeship educator preparation programs, must now be taken and passed prior to entitlement for a Professional Educator License rather than prior to student teaching. This means that candidates may begin student teaching this fall if they have not yet passed the content test. • The content test requirement for teacher candidates enrolled in an alternative educator preparation program (which includes the issuance of an Alternative Provisional Educator License with Stipulations (ELS-APE)) must now be taken and passed prior to entitlement for a Professional Educator License rather than prior to issuance of the ELS-APE. • The public act also allows for ISBE to write rules to allow content test subareas to be scored and retaken separately and independently. ISBE will explore potential rule changes and consult with its testing vendor.

The ROE office will be closed, Thursday, August 1st from 8:30am-11:00am for our Administrator's Back-to-School Breakfast. We apologize for any inconvenience.
