House Floor Amendment No. 3
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code. With regard to joint agreements entered into by school boards to provide special educational facilities and services, provides that a member district wishing to withdraw from a joint agreement must present to its school board and the other member districts evidence that it has a comprehensive plan for educating a wide range of students with disabilities, including a full continuum of supports and services, and that it has an appropriate plan for educating all currently enrolled students with disabilities upon withdrawal from the joint agreement. Provides that, in school districts located in whole or part in a county with a population exceeding 5,000,000 inhabitants and with joint agreements involved in a withdrawal effective on July 1, 2018, a student attending a school under a joint agreement program in the school year immediately prior to the effective date of the school district withdrawing from the agreement shall be permitted to remain placed in the joint agreement program if the student is a resident of the withdrawing school district, the joint agreement maintains the program, the student's individualized education program team makes a determination that the program is the most appropriate program to meet the student's needs, and the student remains age appropriate for the program. Provides that if a student from the withdrawing district attends the joint agreement's program, the withdrawing district shall be responsible for the per capita cost of the student's attendance as calculated under the Children with Disabilities Article of the Code, plus a per student share of fees that would have been paid to the joint agreement for membership and administrative costs associated with educating the student in the joint agreement's program, and transportation of the student to the joint agreement's program.
