(105 ILCS 5/32-1) (from Ch. 122, par. 32-1)
Sec. 32-1. May vote to organize under general law.
(a) Any special charter district may, by vote of its electors, cease to
control its school under the Act under which it was organized, and become part
of the school township or townships in which it is situated. Upon petition of
50 voters of the district, presented to the board having the control and
management of the schools, the board shall order submitted to the voters at an
election to be held in the district, in accordance with the general election
law, the question of "organizing under the general school law".
The secretary of the board shall make certification to the proper election
authority in accordance with the general election law. If, however, a
majority of the votes cast at any such election in any school district subject
to Sections 32-3 through 32-4.11 is against organizing the district under
the general school law, the question may not again be submitted in the district
for 22 months thereafter, and then only upon petition signed by at least 2% of
the voters of the school district. Notice shall be given in accordance with
the general election law, which notice shall be in the following form:


Notice is hereby given that on (insert date), a referendum will be held at.... for the purpose of deciding the
question of organizing under the general school law. The polls will be opened
at .... o'clock ..m and closed at .... o'clock ..m.


If a majority of the votes cast on the proposition is in favor of organizing
under the general school law, then the board having the control and management
of schools in the district, shall declare the proposition carried.
When such a proposition is declared to have so carried, the board of
education shall continue to exercise its powers and duties under the general
school law. Each member of the board of education selected under the provisions
of the special charter shall continue in office until his term has expired.
Before the term of each of these members expires, the board shall give notice
of an election to be held on the date of the next regular school election, in
accordance with the general election law to fill the vacancy which is created.
Nomination papers filed under this Section are not valid unless the candidate
named therein files with the county clerk or the county board of election commissioners, as the case may be, of the county in which the principal office of the school district is located a receipt
from the county clerk showing that the candidate has filed a statement of
economic interests as required by the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act.
Such receipt shall be so filed either previously during the calendar year
in which his nomination papers were filed or within the period for the filing
of nomination papers in accordance with the general election law.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any special charter district whose board
is appointed by the mayor or other corporate authority of that municipality
may, by resolution adopted by the corporate authorities of that municipality
cease to control its school under the Act under which it was organized,
become a part of the school township or townships in which it is situated
and become organized under the general school law. If such a resolution
is adopted, the board of education shall continue to exercise its powers
and duties under the general school law. Each member of the board of education
selected under the provisions of the special charter shall continue in office
until his term has expired. Before the term of each of these members expires,
the board shall give notice of an election to be held on the date of the
next regular school election, in accordance with the general election law
to fill the vacancy which is created.

(105 ILCS 5/32-1.1) (from Ch. 122, par. 32-1.1)
Sec. 32-1.1.
Election and powers of board - No provision in special act.
In all special charter districts maintaining schools under any general school
laws, where there is no provision in the special Acts creating such districts
for the election of boards of education as otherwise provided, there shall
be elected, in lieu of the school directors as now provided, a board of
education, to consist of 7 members to be elected at the time and in the
manner as provided by the general election law for the
election and qualification of boards of education in other cases. In any
district having a population of more than 100,000 but less than
2,000,000
such board may be increased in size to 11 members upon adoption by a majority
of electors residing in the district and voting on the question in a referendum
as provided in this Section. Such question shall be submitted to the electors
at an election upon a resolution adopted by the Board. Members
shall be elected biennially in the school district, whose term of office
shall be 4 years,
and there shall also be elected in each odd-numbered year
a president of the board. Following the first such election, those members
elected, other than the president, shall, by lot, determine 3 to serve 2
years and 3 to serve 4 years; thereafter, all terms shall be 4 years. In
other cases, however, if 4 members, other than the president, are elected
in 1983, then those elected shall, by lot, determine one to serve for 2
years and 3 to serve 4 years; thereafter all terms shall be 4 years. In
neither case shall such determinations affect the biennial selection of
the president. At the first regular school election after
the adoption by the district electors of a question as provided in this
Section increasing the size of the board in those districts entitled to
exercise an option for and elect an 11 member board, 4 additional members
shall be elected and shall determine by lot 2 to serve for 2
years and 2 for 4 years.
Their successors shall serve for a 4 year term. In case of
an 11 member board already in existence, if 7 members, other than the
president,
are elected in 1983 then those members elected shall, by lot determine one
to serve 2 years and 6 to serve 4 years. Terms thereafter shall be 4 years.
The board of education shall have all the powers and duties of trustees
of schools in school townships and the powers and duties of boards of education
in districts having a population of not fewer than 1,000 and not more than
500,000 as provided by this Act.
The day upon which the election provided for in this section is to be held
is subject to the provisions of the general election law.

Upon petition
of 50 voters of any district as defined in Section 32-1.3 presented to the
board having the control and management of schools, the board shall, at
the next regularly scheduled election held in such district cause to be
submitted to the voters thereof, in accordance with the general election
law, the proposition of "electing a board of education having the powers
conferred upon such boards in districts organized under The School Code".
The board shall publish notice of such election, in the manner provided by the
general
election law, which notice may be in the following form:
Public notice is hereby given that on (insert date), a referendum will be
held at ...., between the hours of ...
..m. and ... ..m. of said day for the purpose of deciding the
question of "electing a board of education having the powers conferred upon
such boards in districts organized under the School Code".
If a majority of the votes cast is in favor of the proposition, then at
the time of the next regular election for boards of education, there shall

(105 ILCS 5/32-1.5) (from Ch. 122, par. 32-1.5)
Sec. 32-1.5.
Election of board of education.
Any special charter district
may, by vote of its electors, determine to elect, instead of the managing
board provided for by its special charter, a board of education which shall
be elected at the time and in the manner as boards of education under Article
10 of this Act; but such determination shall not affect any other powers
or duties conferred or imposed by the special charter.
Upon petition of 10% or 200 of the voters, whichever is less, of any such
district requesting a referendum therefor, presented to the managing board
thereof, the board shall, or upon its own initiative if no such petition
has been presented the board may order submitted to the voters at the next
regular election, in accordance with the general election law, a proposition
to elect a board of education of 3 or 5 or 7 members, as the case may be.
The proposition shall be substantially as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Shall school district.... be governed
by a board of education of.... members YES
to be elected at the time and in the manner ----------------
as boards of education under Article 10 NO
of the School Code?

--------------------------------------------------------------
If more than one proposition is properly presented to the board, the one
first presented shall be submitted to the electors.
If such proposition receives a majority of all valid votes cast thereon,
the change in membership shall
be effectuated at the next succeeding regular school election. In the conduct
of such election, the managing board shall take such measures as may be
necessary to arrange for the election of a board of 3, 5, or 7 members,
as the case may be. The new board shall be organized as provided in Article
10 of this Act, except that, if only 5 members are
to be elected, 2 (instead of 3) shall be selected by lot for a
2 year term, and if only 3 members are to be elected, then one
shall be selected by lot for a 2 year term. In case of a 5 member board already
established, if 4 are elected in 1983, then those elected shall by lot
determine 2 to serve 2 years and 2 to serve 4 years. All successors, except
to fill vacancies, shall be elected for terms of 4 years.
In the case of a 5 member board already established, on which the members
serve 5 year terms, the member elected in 1981 shall serve a 6 year term.
The 2 members elected in 1983 shall serve 6 year terms. The 2 members elected
in 1985 shall also serve 6 year terms. All successors, except to fill vacancies,
shall be elected for terms of 6 years.
As soon as the first new board is organized, the terms of all members of
the predecessor board shall terminate.
In any such school district which determines to elect a new board of education
as hereinabove authorized, the number of members on the board may thereafter
be changed by following the procedure hereinabove set forth.
At least 22 months must elapse after the date of an election
under this section before any of the above propositions may be again submitted
to the electors.

Powers of board.
The board of inspectors referred to in Section 32-2.11 may, in addition
to the powers conferred upon it by special law and the applicable
provisions of this Act, employ teachers, janitors and such other employees
as it deems necessary and fix the amount of their compensation; buy or
lease sites for schoolhouses, with the necessary grounds; build, erect,
lease or purchase buildings suitable for school purposes; repair and
improve buildings and furnish them with the necessary supplies, fixtures,
apparatus, libraries and fuel; and may lease school property, when not
needed for school purposes, for a term of not longer than 99 years from the
date of the granting of the lease. All such leases shall provide for
revaluation privileges at least once in every 20 years.
In case the school board and the lessee cannot agree on revaluation and
a new rent, the same shall be determined in the following manner: 3 arbitrators
shall be appointed, 1 by the school board, 1 by the
lessee, and 1 by the arbitrators appointed by the school board and the
lessee. The 3 arbitrators, or a majority of them, shall fix and determine
the revaluation and the new rent and their decision or a decision of a
majority of them shall be final.
When, in the opinion of the school board,
a school site, building, or site with building thereon, or any other real
estate of the district, has become unnecessary or unsuitable or
inconvenient for a school, or unnecessary for the uses of the district and
the school board decides to sell the same,
unless the property is to be sold to a tenant that has leased the
property for 10 or more years and that tenant is a non-profit agency, the
school board shall give notice of the sale
stating the time and place the sale is to be held, the terms of the sale
and a description of the property to be sold. The notice shall be published
in a newspaper of general circulation published in the district, or if
none, in the county in which the district is situated, such notice to be
published once each week for 3 successive weeks, and the first publication
to be at least 30 days prior to the day the sale is to be held. Unless the
school board holds legal title to the property, the school
board shall notify the trustees of schools of the terms upon which the school
board
desires the property to be conveyed. The school board or trustees of
schools holding legal title to the property shall convey the property in
accordance with the terms fixed by the school board.
The deed of
conveyance shall be executed
by the president and secretary or clerk of the school board or trustees of
the school holding legal title to the property and the proceeds if any shall be
paid
to the school treasurer for the benefit of the district.
In the case of a sale of property to a tenant that has leased the
property for 10 or more years and that is a non-profit agency, an
appraisal is required prior to the sale. If the non-profit agency purchases
the property for less than the appraised value and subsequently sells the
property, the agency may retain only a percentage of the profits that is
proportional to the percentage of the appraisal,
plus any improvements made by the agency while the agency was the
owner,
that the agency paid in the
initial sale.
The remaining portion of the profits made by the non-profit agency
shall revert to the school district.

Leasehold revenue bonds.
The board of inspectors of districts described in Section 32-2.11 in
addition to all other powers conferred upon it by special law and the
applicable provisions of this Act, may borrow money for the purpose of
building schoolhouses, or repairing, altering or building additions to any
schoolhouses already erected, or purchasing schoolhouse sites, or
purchasing land outside the school district pursuant to the provisions of
Section 22-16 and as evidence of the indebtedness may issue revenue bonds
in denominations of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 payable solely
from rentals or other revenue to be derived from any lease of school
property made by said board of inspectors in accordance with the power
conferred by Section 32-4. Said bonds shall be negotiable instruments and
shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding the maximum rate authorized
by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the
contract, payable
semi-annually, and shall mature at or prior to the expiration of the term
of said lease, provided that in any event all such bonds shall mature
within 40 years from the date of said bonds. Said bonds shall not
constitute a general obligation of the school district and may be issued in
addition to all other bonds which the school district is now or hereafter
may be authorized to issue. Said bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness
of the school district within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory limitation.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.

Resolution.
Said bonds shall be sold in such manner and upon such terms not
inconsistent with the provisions hereof as the board of inspectors shall
determine by resolution authorizing the issuance of said bonds. The
resolution may contain such covenants and restrictions upon the issuance of
additional revenue bonds thereafter as may be deemed necessary or advisable
for the assurance of the payment of all revenue bonds previously issued and
secured by the rentals and other revenue from any lease upon the same
school property. The resolution shall pledge the rentals and other revenue
from said school property for the purpose of paying the cost of operation
and maintenance of said school property, providing an adequate depreciation
fund, and paying the principal of and interest on bonds issued pursuant
thereto and shall provide for the deposit of all rentals and other revenue,
as received, in a special fund to be used only for the purpose of paying
the cost of operating and maintaining said school property, providing an
adequate depreciation fund, and paying the principal of and interest on

thereof, signed by the president and clerk, or by a majority of the board.
When an order issued for the wages of any teacher or employee of such
district is presented to the treasurer and is not paid for want of funds,
the treasurer shall endorse it over his signature "not paid for want of
funds", with the date of presentation, and shall make and keep a record of
such endorsement. The order shall thereafter bear interest at the rate
established by the school board of the district, payable annually, not
exceeding the rate authorized from time to time under the Bond
Authorization Act until the treasurer of such district notifies the clerk
in writing that he has funds to pay it, and the treasurer shall keep a
record of such notices and hold the funds necessary to pay such order until
it is presented. The order shall draw no interest after notice
is given to the clerk. Orders presented within 10 days after the notice
is mailed to the clerk shall be payable in the numerical order of their
issuance.
