AUTHORITYThis handbook provides guidance to Regional Offices of Education (ROEs) in the oversight ofconstruction, operation and maintenance of schools in their regions. It is also a useful resource fordistrict administrators and architects. Since 1915, Regional Superintendents have been chargedwith the duty:“…to inspect the building plans and specifications…of public school rooms andbuildings…” (ILCS 5/3-14.20)“…to inspect and survey all public schools under his or her supervision…” (ILCS 5/3-14.21)“…to request the Department of Public Health, the State Fire Marshal, or the StateSuperintendent of Education to inspect public school buildings and temporary facilitieswhich appear to him to be unsafe, unsanitary, or unfit for occupancy. These officialsshall inspect such buildings or temporary school facilities and if, in their opinion, suchbuildings and temporary facilities are unsafe, unsanitary or unfit for occupancy, shallstate in writing in what particular(s) they are unsafe, unsanitary, or unfit foroccupancy. Upon the receipt of such statement the Regional Superintendent shallcondemn the building or temporary facility and notify the school board thereof inwriting and the reasons for such condemnation”… (ILCS 5/3-14.22)To fulfill these duties, Regional Superintendents are to utilize the “minimum standards” establishedby the State Board of Education pursuant to Section 2-3.12 of the School Code. In 1965, RegionalSuperintendents were charged with the additional duty to review and approve “Safety SurveyReports” pursuant to the provisions of Section 2-3.12 of the School Code as amended. They werealso charged with duties concerning the review and approval of amounts of funds to be raisedthrough tax levies or sale of bonds for fire prevention, safety, energy conservation, handicappedaccessibility, school security and specific repair purposes. (ILCS 5/2-3.12 and 5/17-2.11) The rulesestablished relative to these duties are contained in Title 23 Part 180 of the Illinois AdministrativeCode, also referred to as “The Health/Life Safety Code for Public Schools.”ii

Annual Building InspectionOverviewThe primary purpose of an annual inspection is to ensure that schools are safe, sanitary, and fitfor occupancy. It may also serve to confirm that school boards are making reasonable progresswith previously issued orders to effect compliance.By law, all public schools must be inspected at least once each year by the Regional Office ofEducation. This includes facilities that are leased or rented by the district and used for schoolpurposes. The extent and detail involved in an inspection depends upon the nature of thefacility to be inspected. Factors such as size, complexity, age, previous conditions, etc., shouldbe taken into consideration in planning and conducting inspections.Districts must maintain their school buildings in continuous compliance with minimum standardsand be inspected annually. During the course of the year, a particular facility may be inspectedat the discretion of the Regional Superintendent. Facilities may be inspected more frequently ifthe Regional Superintendent determines that it is necessary to do so.2-2

Guidelines for Paving WorkSince January 1, 1994, the Illinois State Board of Education has been authorized to approve the useof Health/Life Safety Funds for repairing school sidewalks, playgrounds, parking lots, and school busturnarounds if the funds are not needed for fire prevention and safety purposes. (Section 17-2.11 ofthe School Code)1. Repairs should be considered when there is a "substantial, immediate, andotherwise unavoidable threat to the health, safety, or welfare of pupils." Disrepairmeans that the surface of the sidewalks, playgrounds, parking lots, and/or schoolbus turnarounds is so extensively pitted, broken or cracked so as to cause trippingor falling when walking or running, or cause a child to be jolted out of the seat of amoving bus.2. The local school board determines when such conditions exist. An architect orengineer, licensed in the State of Illinois, must certify that the condition exists and therepairs are needed.3. Health/Life Safety Funds can only be used when there are no fire prevention andsafety projects pending. A Certificate of Compliance must be on file for all buildings inthe district before Health/Life Safety Funds can be considered for these purposes. Orif there is an outstanding amendment, both the life safety amendment and pavingrepairs must be completed at the same time (and within one year).4. If a school district intends to use life safety funds for this purpose, a public hearingmust be held following the same guidelines that are required when conducting boardmeetings or budget hearings. The district must publish, in a local newspaper, a publicnotice stating the intent to repair the sidewalks, playgrounds, parking lots, and/or busturnarounds. This notice must include the date, time and location of a public hearing.5. Districts are asked to prepare the Amendment as they normally would and attach thefollowing when submitting it to the regional superintendent:A. Site plans of the area to be pavedB. Photographs showing existing conditionsC. School Board ResolutionD. Minutes of public hearingE. Certification of Publication for public hearingChecklist for Paving Work1.______Statements of Compliance for all buildings in the district.(All Amendment work completed or obligated)2.______Notice of Public Hearing (Certificate of Publication)3.______A copy of the board resolution (see sample)4.______A site plan showing total area and identifying area to be repaired.5.______Photographs showing existing condition.Form 35-52 (3/04) (Prescribed by ISBE for local board use) 17-2.114-30

Temporary Facility ProcessA temporary facility is one which does not comply with all the requirements of 23 Ill. Adm. Code,Part 180. If any facility meets the requirements for permanent occupancy (as determined bycompleting an Application for Occupancy Permit, Form 36-15), it is a permanent facility and willbe inspected annually by the Regional Office of Education. No annual renewal using theTemporary Facility Checklist is necessary.If a facility used by a school district cannot be brought into full compliance, it is considered aTemporary Facility. Temporary Facilities must be inspected annually by a licensed designprofessional and the Temporary Facility Checklist (Form 36-28) must be completed.Temporary Facilities may be constructed, erected, manufactured, leased or rented.5-2

Condemnation of School Buildings and Temporary FacilitiesA school building must be condemned anytime the regional superintendent feels that thebuilding is in such a state that occupancy by students and personnel will, without question,jeopardize their lives. The regional superintendent must also request the assistance of theIllinois Department of Public Health and/or State Fire Marshal to confirm the hazardouscondition of the school building.Section 105 ILCS 5/3-14.22 of the School Code states:Sec. 3-14.22 Condemnation of school buildings.

Code InformationWhen are Part 180, Part 185 and Part 175 of the Il Adm Code used in inspecting a building?Generally, every school board shall secure approval from the regional superintendent for anyconstruction or like activity subject to the requirements of Part 180. (See Section 180.40c).Every facility (other than vehicular unit) and new structures shall conform to the requirementsof Part 180, which references the BOCA National Building Code; the Illinois Accessibility Codeinstead of the accessibility provisions stated in Chapter 11 of BOCA; the Illinois Plumbing Codeinstead of those expressed in the BOCA National Plumbing Code incorporated in Chapter 35;and the Illinois State Fire Marshal's rule titled Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety instead ofthose expressed in Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Code published by ASME 89 asincorporated by BOCA in Chapter 35. (See Section 180.60).BOCA permits an existing facility to be maintained in compliance with the building code thatpreviously applied to the facility. All equipment, systems, devices and safeguards required bya previous code or statute for the structure or premises when erected or altered shall bemaintained in good working order. The requirements of BOCA Chapter 34 shall not provide thebasis for removal or abrogation of fire protection and safety systems and devices in existingstructures. (See Section 3401.2)The following Table 1 shows the timeline for code maintenance requirements:ß Part 185 / Part 175 / Part 180 (BOCA 93) / Part 180 (BOCA 96) à7/1/65 3/24/95 7/6/98 (current)The use of Table 1 is illustrated by the following examples:Example 1: A design professional repairing a boiler, a bleacher or heating equipment installednew in 1962 would use code Part 185 for code compliance.Example 2: The local board installed a new boiler on September 10, 1965; the regionalsuperintendent will use the guidelines of previous code Part 175 for his annual inspection.Note: The Health/Life Safety Annual Inspection Glossary breaks down each item into variouscode compliance reference numbers, for example:16. Inspection Certificate (Section 180.60d, Previously 185.430, 185.495; 175.525)Inspection of.....This item #16 should be maintained under Part 175, Section 175.525. The actual codeshould be reviewed for specific repair and replacement standards.Any alterations or addition to an existing structure shall conform to the requirements for a newstructure, without requiring the existing structure to comply with the code for new constructionand shall not result in an increase in hazard to the occupants. Any existing structure plusadditions shall comply with the height and area requirements of BOCA (See Section 3401.1and Section 3401.2).7-2

In summary, the "Health/Life Safety Code for Public Schools," Part 180, stipulates that BuildingOfficials and Code Administrators International (BOCA) permits a facility constructed prior to itseffective date to be maintained in compliance with the building code that previously applied tothe facility.Part 185 is followed for buildings built before July 1, 1965. Part 175 is followed for buildingsbuilt between July 1, 1965, and March 24, 1995. School Code Part 180 is followed forbuildings built after March 24, 1995, and amended on July 6, 1998.However, if the replacement for an existing item can not be made due to various reasons, thenthe replacement is to be done complying with the requirements of BOCA for new building, butshall not make the building more hazardous by doing so.7-3
