 1        AN ACT with regard to schools.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The  School  Code  is  amended  by changing
 5    Section 10-17 as follows:

 6        (105 ILCS 5/10-17) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-17)
 7        Sec. 10-17.  Statement of affairs.   In Class I or  Class
 8    II county school units the school board may use either a cash
 9    basis  or accrual system of accounting; however, any board so
10    electing to use the accrual system may not change to  a  cash
11    basis without the permission of the State Board of Education.
12        School Boards using either a cash basis or accrual system
13    of  accounting  shall  maintain  records  showing the assets,
14    liabilities and fund balances in such minimum forms as may be
15    prescribed by the State  Board  of  Education.   Such  boards
16    shall  publish  a  statement  of  the affairs of the district
17    prior to December  1  annually  in  a  newspaper  of  general
18    circulation  published in the respective school districts and
19    if no newspaper is  published  in  the  district  then  in  a
20    newspaper  published  in  the  county  in  which  the  school
21    district  is  located and if no newspaper is published in the
22    county then in  a  newspaper  published  in  the  educational
23    service  region  in  which  the  regional  superintendent has
24    supervision and control of such school district in such  form
25    as  may  be  prescribed by the State Board of Education.  Not
26    later than December 15 annually the clerk shall file with the
27    regional  superintendent  a  certified  statement  that   the
28    publication  has  been  made  together  with  a  copy  of the
29    newspaper containing it.   After  December  15  annually  the
30    regional  superintendent  of schools shall withhold from each
31    treasurer any public moneys due  to  be  distributed  to  the

 1    treasurer  until  the duties required under this section have
 2    been complied with.
 3        When any school district is the  administrative  district
 4    for   several   school  districts  operating  under  a  joint
 5    agreement  as  authorized  by  this  Act,  no   receipts   or
 6    disbursements  accruing,  received or paid out by that school
 7    district as such an administrative district shall be included
 8    in the statement of affairs of the district required by  this
 9    Section.  However,  that  district  shall  have  prepared and
10    published, in  the  same  manner  and  subject  to  the  same
11    requirements   as  are  provided  in  this  Section  for  the
12    statement of affairs of that district,  a  statement  showing
13    the cash receipts and disbursements by funds (or the revenue,
14    expenses  and  financial  position,  if the accrual system of
15    accounting is used) of the district  as  such  administrative
16    district,  in  the  form  prescribed  by  the  State Board of
17    Education.  The costs of publishing this  separate  statement
18    prepared   by   such  an  administrative  district  shall  be
19    apportioned among and paid by the participating districts  in
20    the same manner as other costs and expenses accruing to those
21    districts jointly.
22        School  districts on a cash basis shall have prepared and
23    publish  a  statement   showing   the   cash   receipts   and
24    disbursements  by  funds  in the form prescribed by the State
25    Board of Education.
26        School districts using the accrual system  of  accounting
27    shall  have  prepared  and publish a statement of revenue and

31    prepared and published by the township treasurer of the  unit
32    within  which such districts are located, except with respect
33    to the school board of any school district that no longer  is
34    subject  to  the  jurisdiction  and  authority  of a township
