All Illinois School Districts are working to comply with the requirements of education reforms. The Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA) has worked to provide support via the Senate Bill 7 Performance Rankings File. This program gives districts a method of managing district positions aligned to local qualifications, teacher's credentials, and performance ratings. The program compiles this local data and creates reports needed to comply with Senate Bill 7.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Including Teacher Race on the Sequence of Honorable Dismissal List was a new requirement for 2023-2024 (see SB2218). A new column has been added to the SB7 program to accomodate this new requirement. Therefore, it is VERY IMPORTANT that users of this program align data correctly when transferring data from previous versions of the program into the 2024-2025 file. If you would like this to be done for you, please send an email to

File Information
This software was originally reviewed by the Senate Bill 7 teams from the Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT) and the Illinois Education Association (IEA). The latest version of this software builds on the knowledge gained from these users. This includes the inclusion of many suggested improvements that have been submitted. For example, the software allows users to flag teachers whose rating has been changed through a review process, sort data within the program, reports can be formatted to list teachers in their current position and other positions for which they are eligible to hold in the district, and fields allow for filtering to only view current employees. This is only a sample of features that can be found in the current version of this software.
The annual licensing fee is $300 for IASA members and $600 for non-members.
Please note that previous versions of the SB7 file are no longer supported. Also, the support for this software will be via email only. Support requests can be submitted via the support request form on this page or via email sent to Dr. Don White at
