105 ILCS 5/13A-1…

a)The children of this State constitute its most important resource, and in order to enable those children to reach their full potential, the State must provide them the quality public education that the Constitution of the State of Illinois mandates. b)The State cannot provide its children with the education they deserve and require unless the environment of the public schools is conducive to learning. c)That environment cannot be achieved unless an atmosphere of safety prevails, assuring that the person of each student, teacher, and staff member is respected, and that none of those people are subjected to violence, threats, harassment, intimidation, or

therwise confrontational or inappropriate behaviors that disrupt the educational atmosphere.
