Amends the Chicago School District Article of the School Code. With respect to school action and facility master planning, defines "co-location" as a school action in which 2 or more separate schools, each under the direction of its own principal and local school council and maintaining a distinct program and attendance area or other enrollment, are assigned by the Chicago Board of Education to operate entirely within the same school building, but provides that the term does not include an existing school's temporary use of available, vacant, or underutilized space in a second school building to increase capacity or relieve overcrowding if: (1) that school continues to additionally operate in its current building under its own principal and local school council and to serve the same attendance area or population; and (2) the Board designates the use of the second building's space as a temporary measure for a specified period of time.
