Faith's Law
Two pieces of state legislation, collectively known as “Faith’s Law” amend the Illinois
School Code and place new comprehensive requirements on school districts with the
goal of preventing sexual misconduct. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has a resource
guide available about sexual abuse response and prevention resources. The guide is available on the ISBE website here. As part of Faith's Law, school districts are required to implement an Employee Code of Professional Conduct. These standards, in part, define appropriate conduct between school employees and students. A copy of these standards (Policy 5:120) can be found in the Cerro Gordo CUSD #100 Board Policy Manual on our website here or requested from the unit office.
