The online statewide survey shall be administered over a two-month period ending no later than March 31, 2026, and thereafter no later than March 31 for each year of the Contract. Survey data must be submitted to ISBE no later than June 30, 2026, and thereafter by no later than June 30 for each year of the Contract. [1: “Teacher” means any individual who holds an educator license issued pursuant to Article 21B of the School Code and whose primary responsibility is to provide instruction to students at any grade level of prekindergarten through Grade 12 for more than 50 percent of the school day or school year. “Teacher” does not include paraprofessional educators, substitute teachers, tutors, instructional coaches who do not meet the criteria specified in this footnote, or student teachers. In most situations, the following positions also are not eligible to participate in the survey as they do not meet the definition of a teacher: counselors, social workers, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, or librarians.]
