Sec. 34A-405.2.     Staffing levels.(a) No hiring or appointment of any person in any position by the Board, the  general superintendent, any other officer or employee of the Board, or any  local school council shall be made or entered into unless it is consistent with  the Financial Plan and Budget in effect and the staffing plan approved by the  Authority under this Section.  The hiring or appointment of any person shall  not be binding on the Board unless and until it is in compliance with this  Section.(b) The Board shall submit to the Authority for approval by the Authority a  staffing plan for the upcoming school year at the same time as the submission  of the Budget, except that the staffing plan for the fiscal  year ending in 1994 shall be submitted to the Authority within 90 days after  the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1993.  The staffing plan shall be  accompanied by a  cost analysis and such other information as the Authority may require.  The  Authority may adopt, and from time to time amend, regulations to implement this  Section and may prescribe standards, procedures, and forms for submission of  the staffing plan.(c) The Authority shall approve the staffing plan if, in its judgment, the  information required to be submitted is complete and the staffing plan is  consistent with the Budget and Financial Plan in effect.  Otherwise, the  Authority shall reject the staffing plan; in the event of rejection, the  Authority shall prescribe a procedure and standards for revision of the  staffing plan. The Authority shall act on the staffing plan at the same  time as the approval of the Budget, except that the staffing plan for the  fiscal year ending in 1994 shall be acted upon at the same time as approval of  the Financial Plan for that fiscal year.(d) The Board shall report to the Authority, at such times and in such  manner as the Authority may direct, concerning the Board's compliance with each  staffing plan.  The Authority may review the Board's operations, obtaining  budgetary data and financial statements, may require the Board to produce  reports, and shall have access to any other information in the possession of  the Board that it deems relevant.  The Authority may issue recommendations or  directives within its powers to the Board to assure compliance with the  staffing plan.  The Board shall produce such budgetary data, financial  statements, reports, and other information and shall comply with such  directives.(e) After approval of each staffing plan, the Board shall regularly  reexamine the estimates on which it was based and revise them as necessary. The  Board shall promptly notify the Authority of any material change in the  estimates in the staffing plan. The Board may submit to the Authority, or the  Authority may require the Board to submit, modifications to the staffing plan  based upon revised revenue or expenditure estimates or for any other good  reason.  The Authority shall approve or reject each modified staffing plan  pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section.    (Source: P.A. 88-511.)
