Anticipation warrants.
When there is no money in the treasury
of any non-high school
district to defray the necessary expenses of the district, including
amounts necessary to pay maturing principal and interest of bonds, the
board of education may issue warrants or may provide a fund to meet the
expenses by issuing and disposing of warrants drawn against and in
anticipation of any taxes levied for the payment of such expenses,
either for educational or building purposes or for the payment of
maturing principal and interest of bonds, to the extent of 85% of the
total amount of the tax so levied. The warrants shall show upon their
faces that they are payable, in the numerical order of their issuance,
solely from such taxes when collected, and shall be received by any
collector of taxes in payment of the taxes against which they are
issued, and such taxes shall be set apart and held for their payment.
Every warrant shall bear interest payable only out of the taxes
against which it is drawn, at the rate of not more than the maximum rate
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
making of the contract, for
warrants issued before January 1, 1972 and not more than the maximum rate
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
making of the contract,
for warrants issued after January 1, 1972, from the date of its issuance
until paid or until notice is given by publication in a newspaper or
otherwise that the money for its payment is available and that it will
be paid on presentation, unless a lower rate of interest shall be
specified therein, in which case the interest shall be computed and paid
at the lower rate.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.

Bond issue - Resolution - Election.
If there has been a delay in the extension and collection of taxes
levied by the governing body of any nonhigh school district caused by a
reassessment of real property therein, the district may issue bonds for
the purpose of paying unpaid tuition claims or other claims against it.
Before any nonhigh school district issues any such bonds the board
of education shall examine and consider the claims proposed to be paid,
and if it appears that they were authorized and allowed for proper
nonhigh school purposes, it shall adopt a resolution so declaring and
set forth and describe in detail such claims. The adoption of the
resolution shall establish the validity thereof. The resolution shall
also declare the intention of the nonhigh school district to issue
bonds for the purpose of paying such claims and direct that notice of
such intention be published at least once in a newspaper published and having
a general circulation in the district, if there be one, but if there is no
newspaper published in such district then by publishing such notice in a
newspaper having a general circulation in the district or if no newspaper
is published in the district in one or more newspapers with a general
circulation in the district. The notice shall include a statement of (1)
the specific number of voters required to sign a petition requesting that
the question of the adoption of the resolution be submitted to the electors
of the district; (2) the time in which the petition must be filed; and (3)
the date of the prospective referendum.
The recording officer of the district shall provide a petition form to any
individual requesting one. If within 30 days after the
publication a petition is filed with the recording officer of the
district, signed by voters of the district
equal to 10% or more of the registered voters of the district, requesting
that the proposition to issue the bonds be submitted to the voters
thereof, then such district shall not be authorized to issue them until
either the petition has been determined to be invalid or insufficient or
the proposition has been submitted to and approved by a majority of the
voters voting on the proposition at a regular scheduled election. The board
shall certify the proposition to the proper election authorities for submission
in accordance with the general election law. If no such petition
is filed, or if any and all petitions filed are invalid, such
district may issue the bonds. In addition to the requirements of the general
election law the notice of the election shall set forth the
intention of the district to issue bonds under the provisions of this
Section. The ballot to be used at the election shall be in substantially
the following form:

for bonds issued before January
1, 1972 and
not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as
amended at the time of the making of the contract, for

and amount, and in addition to and in excess of any taxes authorized to be
levied by the district.
The bonds may be exchanged par for par for unpaid tuition claims or
other unpaid claims or both or may be sold and the proceeds used to pay
such claims.
Purchasers of bonds shall not be obligated to inquire into the validity
of the claims funded thereby but the determination of the board of

of Schools, the County Treasurer and the County Clerk shall constitute a Board
of
Education, ex-officio, for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the
non-high school district and paying all outstanding
obligations. The County Treasurer shall be Treasurer, ex-officio, of that Board
to receive
and collect all delinquent taxes and taxes in process of collection of the
district at the time of its elimination, and the Board shall apply the
taxes so collected to the payment of any outstanding obligations of the
eliminated non-high school district. Such Board of Education shall
meet annually by the second Tuesday in September of each year and ascertain
the amount of outstanding bonds of the non-high school district, the
amount of funds on hand from the tax levies for the payment of either
principal or interest, or both, of such bond issues, and to ascertain the
deficiencies in the collection of the taxes for the purpose of paying such
principal and interest of such bonds, and to provide for and levy taxes
annually in an amount sufficient to make up the deficiency in the levy and
collection of such taxes for the purpose of paying in full the principal and
interest of any outstanding bonds of such non-high school district. Such
Board of Education shall file with the County Clerk by the second Monday of
October in each year a certificate of the amounts necessary to be levied to
make up any deficiency in the collection of taxes for payment of principal
and interest of any outstanding bonds of the non-high school district over

ascertained against all the taxable property of the non-high school
district as it existed as of the date of the bonds for which the tax levy
is made, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-17 of this
Article.
After payment of all outstanding bonds or after provision has been made
for the payment of such bonds, any funds remaining in the bond principal
and interest account shall be paid by the Board to high school districts
organized since January 1, 1955 solely from the territory of an eliminated
non-high school district. Payment to each high school district shall be
made in the same ratio as the assessed valuation of each high school
district bears to the total valuation of all high school districts to which
payment is being made. In the event payment is made in more than one
installment, second and succeeding installments shall be computed on the
basis of the same percentages as were used for the first payment.

(105 ILCS 5/13-40) (from Ch. 122, par. 13-40)
Sec. 13-40. To increase the effectiveness of the Department of
Juvenile Justice and
thereby to better serve the interests of the people of Illinois the
following bill is presented.
Its purpose is to enhance the quality and scope of education for
inmates and wards within the Department of
Juvenile Justice so that they will
be better motivated and better equipped to restore themselves to
constructive and law-abiding lives in the community. The specific
measure sought is the creation of a school district within the
Department so that its educational programs can meet the needs of
persons committed and so the resources of public education at the state
and federal levels are best used, all of the same being contemplated
within the provisions of the Illinois State Constitution of 1970 which
provides that "A fundamental goal of the People of the State is the
educational development of all persons to the limits of their
capacities." Therefore, on July 1, 2006, the Department of
Corrections
school district shall be transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice. It shall be responsible for the education of youth
within the Department of
Juvenile Justice and inmates age 21 or under within the Department of Corrections who have not yet earned a high school diploma or a State of Illinois High School Diploma, and the district may establish
primary, secondary, vocational, adult, special, and advanced educational
schools as provided in this Act. The Department of Corrections retains authority as provided for in subsection (d) of Section 3-6-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections. The
Board of Education for this district shall with the aid and advice of
professional educational personnel of the Department of
Juvenile Justice and
the State Board of Education determine the
needs and type of schools and the curriculum for each school within the
school district and may proceed to establish the same through existing
means within present and future appropriations, federal and state school
funds, vocational rehabilitation grants and funds and all other funds,
gifts and grants, private or public, including federal funds, but not
exclusive to the said sources but inclusive of all funds which might be
available for school purposes.
