10 an Illinois community college, or (iii) an undergraduate
11 student at a public or private college or university in
12 Illinois.
13 "Teacher" means a person who is teaching (i) at a public
14 or private elementary or secondary school in Illinois, (ii)
15 at an Illinois community college, or (iii) undergraduate
16 students at a public or private college or university in
17 Illinois; regardless of whether that teaching is on a
18 full-time or part-time, temporary or permanent, or regular or
19 substitute basis.
20 "Dissection" includes cutting, killing, inspecting,
21 touching, handling, preserving, mounting, or other
22 manipulation of living or dead animals or animal parts for
23 scientific study; but does not include the cutting,

15 Sec. 10-20.12b. Residency; payment of tuition; hearing;
16 criminal penalty.
17 (a) For purposes of this Section:
18 (1) The residence of a person who has legal custody
19 of a pupil is deemed to be the residence of the pupil.
20 (2) "Legal custody" means one of the following:
21 (i) Custody exercised by a natural or adoptive
22 parent with whom the pupil resides.
23 (ii) Custody granted by order of a court of
24 competent jurisdiction to a person with whom the
25 pupil resides for reasons other than to have access
26 to the educational programs of the district.
27 (iii) Custody exercised under a statutory
28 short-term guardianship, provided that within 60
29 days of the pupil's enrollment a court order is
30 entered that establishes a permanent guardianship
31 and grants custody to a person with whom the pupil
32 resides for reasons other than to have access to the
-6- LRB9007351NTcw
1 educational programs of the district.
2 (iv) Custody exercised by an adult caretaker
3 relative who is receiving aid under the Illinois
4 Public Aid Code for the pupil who resides with that
5 adult caretaker relative for purposes other than to
6 have access to the educational programs of the
7 district.
8 (v) Custody exercised by an adult who
9 demonstrates that, in fact, he or she has assumed
10 and exercises legal responsibility for the pupil and

13 educational programs of the district.
14 (b) Except as otherwise provided under Section 10-22.5a,
15 only resident pupils of a school district may attend the
16 schools of the district without payment of the tuition
17 required to be charged under Section 10-20.12a. However,
18 children for whom the Guardianship Administrator of the
19 Department of Children and Family Services has been appointed
20 temporary custodian or guardian of the person of a child
21 shall not be charged tuition as a nonresident pupil if the
22 child was placed by the Department of Children and Family
23 Services with a foster parent or placed in another type of
24 child care facility and the foster parent or child care
25 facility is located in a school district other than the
26 child's former school district and it is determined by the
27 Department of Children and Family Services to be in the
28 child's best interest to maintain attendance at his or her
29 former school district.
30 (c) The provisions of this subsection do not apply in
31 school districts having a population of 500,000 or more. If a
32 school board in a school district with a population of less
33 than 500,000 determines that a pupil who is attending school
34 in the district on a tuition free basis is a nonresident of
-7- LRB9007351NTcw
1 the district for whom tuition is required to be charged under
2 Section 10-20.12a, the board shall notify the person who
3 enrolled the pupil of the amount of the tuition charged under
4 Section 10-20.12a that is due to the district for the
5 nonresident pupil's attendance in the district's schools.
6 The notice shall be given by certified mail, return receipt
7 requested. Within 10 days after receipt of the notice, the
8 person who enrolled the pupil may request a hearing to review
9 the determination of the school board. The request shall be
10 sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
11 district superintendent. Within 10 days after receipt of the
12 request, the board shall notify, by certified mail, return
13 receipt requested, the person requesting the hearing of the
14 time and place of the hearing, which shall be held not less
15 than 10 nor more than 20 days after the notice of hearing is
16 given. The board or a hearing officer designated by the
17 board shall conduct the hearing. The board and the person
18 who enrolled the pupil may be represented at the hearing by
19 representatives of their choice. At the hearing, the person
20 who enrolled the pupil shall have the burden of going forward
21 with the evidence concerning the pupil's residency. If the
22 hearing is conducted by a hearing officer, the hearing
23 officer, within 5 days after the conclusion of the hearing,
24 shall send a written report of his or her findings by
25 certified mail, return receipt requested, to the school board
26 and to the person who enrolled the pupil. The person who
27 enrolled the pupil may, within 5 days after receiving the
28 findings, file written objections to the findings with the
29 school board by sending the objections by certified mail,
30 return receipt requested, addressed to the district
31 superintendent. Whether the hearing is conducted by the
32 school board or a hearing officer, the school board shall,
33 within 15 days after the conclusion of the hearing, decide
34 whether or not the pupil is a resident of the district and
-8- LRB9007351NTcw
1 the amount of any tuition required to be charged under
2 Section 10-20.12a as a result of the pupil's attendance in
3 the schools of the district. The school board shall send a
4 copy of its decision to the person who enrolled the pupil,
5 and the decision of the school board shall be final.
6 (c-5) The provisions of this subsection apply only in
7 school districts having a population of 500,000 or more. If
8 the board of education of a school district with a population
9 of 500,000 or more determines that a pupil who is attending
10 school in the district on a tuition free basis is a
11 nonresident of the district for whom tuition is required to
12 be charged under Section 10-20.12a, the board shall notify
13 the person who enrolled the pupil of the amount of the
14 tuition charged under Section 10-20.12a that is due to the
15 district for the nonresident pupil's attendance in the
16 district's schools. The notice shall be given by certified
17 mail, return receipt requested. Within 10 days after receipt
18 of the notice, the person who enrolled the pupil may request
19 a hearing to review the determination of the school board.
20 The request shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt
21 requested, to the district superintendent. Within 30 days
22 after receipt of the request, the board shall notify, by
23 certified mail, return receipt requested, the person
24 requesting the hearing of the time and place of the hearing,
25 which shall be held not less than 10 nor more than 30 days
26 after the notice of hearing is given. The board or a hearing
27 officer designated by the board shall conduct the hearing.
28 The board and the person who enrolled the pupil may each be
29 represented at the hearing by a representative of their
30 choice. At the hearing, the person who enrolled the pupil
31 shall have the burden of going forward with the evidence
32 concerning the pupil's residency. If the hearing is
33 conducted by a hearing officer, the hearing officer, within
34 20 days after the conclusion of the hearing, shall serve a
-9- LRB9007351NTcw
1 written report of his or her findings by personal service or
2 by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the school
3 board and to the person who enrolled the pupil. The person
4 who enrolled the pupil may, within 10 days after receiving
5 the findings, file written objections to the findings with
6 the board of education by sending the objections by certified
7 mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the general
8 superintendent of schools. If the hearing is conducted by
9 the board of education, the board shall, within 45 days after
10 the conclusion of the hearing, decide whether or not the
11 pupil is a resident of the district and the amount of any
12 tuition required to be charged under Section 10-20.12a as a
13 result of the pupil's attendance in the schools of the
14 district. If the hearing is conducted by a hearing officer,
15 the board of education shall, within 45 days after the
16 receipt of the hearing officer's findings, decide whether or
17 not the pupil is a resident of the district and the amount of
18 any tuition required to be charged under Section 10-20.12a as
19 a result of the pupil's attendance in the schools of the
20 district. The board of education shall send, by certified
21 mail, return receipt requested, a copy of its decision to the
22 person who enrolled the pupil, and the decision of the board
23 shall be final.
24 (d) If a hearing is requested under subsection (c) or
25 (c-5) to review the determination of the school board or
26 board of education board's determination that a nonresident
27 pupil is attending the schools of the district without
28 payment of the tuition required to be charged under Section
29 10-20.12a, the pupil may, at the request of a person who
30 enrolled the pupil, continue attendance at the schools of the
31 district pending a final decision of the school board
32 following the hearing. However, attendance of that pupil in
33 the schools of the district as authorized by this subsection
34 (d) shall not relieve any person who enrolled the pupil of
-10- LRB9007351NTcw
1 the obligation to pay the tuition charged for that attendance
2 under Section 10-20.12a if the final decision of the school
3 board is that the pupil is a nonresident of the district. If
4 a pupil is determined to be a nonresident of the district for
5 whom tuition is required to be charged pursuant to this
6 Section, the school board shall refuse to permit the pupil to
7 continue attending the schools of the district unless the
8 required tuition is paid for the pupil.
9 (e) Except for a pupil referred to in subsection (b) of
10 Section 10-22.5a, a pupil referred to in Section 10-20.12a,
11 or a pupil referred to in subsection (b) of this Section, a
12 person who knowingly enrolls or attempts to enroll in the
13 schools of a school district on a tuition free basis a pupil
14 known by that person to be a nonresident of the district
15 shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.
16 (f) A person who knowingly or wilfully presents to any
17 school district any false information regarding the residency
18 of a pupil for the purpose of enabling that pupil to attend
19 any school in that district without the payment of a
20 nonresident tuition charge shall be guilty of a Class C
21 misdemeanor.
22 (g) The provisions of this Section are subject to the
23 provisions of the Education for Homeless Children Act.
24 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to apply to or
25 require the payment of tuition by a parent or guardian of a
26 "homeless child" (as that term is defined in Section 1-5 of
27 the Education for Homeless Children Act) in connection with
28 or as a result of the homeless child's continued education or
29 enrollment in a school that is chosen in accordance with any
30 of the options provided in Section 1-10 of that Act.

32 (105 ILCS 5/17-2.11b new)
33 Sec. 17-2.11b. Validation. Whenever prior to the
-11- LRB9007351NTcw
1 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997, a community
2 unit school district having a 1995-96 enrollment of fewer
3 than 450 and a 1995 equalized assessed valuation of less than
4 $12,000,000 has levied and the county clerk has extended
5 taxes for the purposes described in Section 17-2.11 without
6 the certificates of the regional superintendent of schools
7 and the State Superintendent of Education required by that
8 Section, the tax levies and extensions and the expenditures
9 by the school district of the extended amounts are hereby
10 validated for all purposes to the same extent as if the
11 district had received and filed the necessary certifications
12 prior to the tax levies and extensions and had expended the
13 funds in full compliance with Section 17-2.11.
14 (105 ILCS 5/19-1) (from Ch. 122, par. 19-1)
15 Sec. 19-1. Debt limitations of school districts.
16 (a) School districts shall not be subject to the
17 provisions limiting their indebtedness prescribed in "An Act
18 to limit the indebtedness of counties having a population of
19 less than 500,000 and townships, school districts and other
20 municipal corporations having a population of less than
21 300,000", approved February 15, 1928, as amended.
22 No school districts maintaining grades K through 8 or 9
23 through 12 shall become indebted in any manner or for any
24 purpose to an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the
25 aggregate exceeding 6.9% on the value of the taxable property
26 therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for State
27 and county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the
28 sum that is produced by multiplying the school district's
29 1978 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation
30 percentage in effect on January 1, 1979, previous to the
31 incurring of such indebtedness.
32 No school districts maintaining grades K through 12 shall
33 become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an
-12- LRB9007351NTcw
1 amount, including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate
2 exceeding 13.8% on the value of the taxable property therein
3 to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county
4 taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that is
5 produced by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized
6 assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage in
7 effect on January 1, 1979, previous to the incurring of such
8 indebtedness.
9 Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the
10 contrary, in any case in which the voters of a school
11 district have approved a proposition for the issuance of
12 bonds of such school district at an election held prior to
13 January 1, 1979, and all of the bonds approved at such
14 election have not been issued, the debt limitation applicable
15 to such school district during the calendar year 1979 shall
16 be computed by multiplying the value of taxable property
17 therein, including personal property, as ascertained by the
18 last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the
19 incurring of such indebtedness, by the percentage limitation
20 applicable to such school district under the provisions of
21 this subsection (a).
22 (b) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in
23 subsection (a) of this Section, additional indebtedness may
24 be incurred in an amount not to exceed the estimated cost of
25 acquiring or improving school sites or constructing and
26 equipping additional building facilities under the following
27 conditions:
28 (1) Whenever the enrollment of students for the
29 next school year is estimated by the board of education
30 to increase over the actual present enrollment by not
31 less than 35% or by not less than 200 students or the
32 actual present enrollment of students has increased over
33 the previous school year by not less than 35% or by not
34 less than 200 students and the board of education
-13- LRB9007351NTcw
1 determines that additional school sites or building
2 facilities are required as a result of such increase in
3 enrollment; and
4 (2) When the Regional Superintendent of Schools
5 having jurisdiction over the school district and the
6 State Superintendent of Education concur in such
7 enrollment projection or increase and approve the need
8 for such additional school sites or building facilities
9 and the estimated cost thereof; and
10 (3) When the voters in the school district approve
11 a proposition for the issuance of bonds for the purpose
12 of acquiring or improving such needed school sites or
13 constructing and equipping such needed additional
14 building facilities at an election called and held for
15 that purpose. Notice of such an election shall state that
16 the amount of indebtedness proposed to be incurred would
17 exceed the debt limitation otherwise applicable to the
18 school district. The ballot for such proposition shall
19 state what percentage of the equalized assessed valuation
20 will be outstanding in bonds if the proposed issuance of
21 bonds is approved by the voters; or
22 (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
23 (1) through (3) of this subsection (b), if the school
24 board determines that additional facilities are needed to
25 provide a quality educational program and not less than
26 2/3 of those voting in an election called by the school
27 board on the question approve the issuance of bonds for
28 the construction of such facilities, the school district
29 may issue bonds for this purpose.
30 In no event shall the indebtedness incurred pursuant to
31 this subsection (b) and the existing indebtedness of the
32 school district exceed 15% of the value of the taxable
33 property therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for
34 State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such
-14- LRB9007351NTcw
1 indebtedness or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum
2 that is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978
3 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation
4 percentage in effect on January 1, 1979.
5 The indebtedness provided for by this subsection (b)
6 shall be in addition to and in excess of any other debt
7 limitation.
8 (c) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in
9 subsection (a) of this Section, in any case in which a public
10 question for the issuance of bonds of a proposed school
11 district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12 received
12 at least 60% of the valid ballots cast on the question at an
13 election held on or prior to November 8, 1994, and in which
14 the bonds approved at such election have not been issued, the
15 school district pursuant to the requirements of Section
16 11A-10 may issue the total amount of bonds approved at such
17 election for the purpose stated in the question.
18 (d) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in
19 subsection (a) of this Section, a school district that meets
20 all the criteria set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this
21 subsection (d) may incur an additional indebtedness in an
22 amount not to exceed $4,500,000, even though the amount of
23 the additional indebtedness authorized by this subsection
24 (d), when incurred and added to the aggregate amount of
25 indebtedness of the district existing immediately prior to
26 the district incurring the additional indebtedness authorized
27 by this subsection (d), causes the aggregate indebtedness of
28 the district to exceed the debt limitation otherwise
29 applicable to that district under subsection (a):
30 (1) The additional indebtedness authorized by this
31 subsection (d) is incurred by the school district through
32 the issuance of bonds under and in accordance with
33 Section 17-2.11a for the purpose of replacing a school
34 building which, because of mine subsidence damage, has
-15- LRB9007351NTcw
1 been closed as provided in paragraph (2) of this
2 subsection (d) or through the issuance of bonds under and
3 in accordance with Section 19-3 for the purpose of
4 increasing the size of, or providing for additional
5 functions in, such replacement school buildings, or both
6 such purposes.
7 (2) The bonds issued by the school district as
8 provided in paragraph (1) above are issued for the
9 purposes of construction by the school district of a new
10 school building pursuant to Section 17-2.11, to replace
11 an existing school building that, because of mine
12 subsidence damage, is closed as of the end of the 1992-93

21 (e) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in
22 subsection (a) of this Section, a school district that meets
23 all the criteria set forth in paragraphs (1) through (5) of
24 this subsection (e) may, without referendum, incur an
25 additional indebtedness in an amount not to exceed the lesser
26 of $5,000,000 or 1.5% of the value of the taxable property
27 within the district even though the amount of the additional
28 indebtedness authorized by this subsection (e), when incurred
29 and added to the aggregate amount of indebtedness of the
30 district existing immediately prior to the district incurring
31 that additional indebtedness, causes the aggregate
32 indebtedness of the district to exceed or increases the
33 amount by which the aggregate indebtedness of the district
34 already exceeds the debt limitation otherwise applicable to
-16- LRB9007351NTcw
1 that district under subsection (a):
2 (1) The State Board of Education certifies the
3 school district under Section 19-1.5 as a financially
4 distressed district.
5 (2) The additional indebtedness authorized by this
6 subsection (e) is incurred by the financially distressed
7 district during the school year or school years in which
8 the certification of the district as a financially
9 distressed district continues in effect through the
10 issuance of bonds for the lawful school purposes of the
11 district, pursuant to resolution of the school board and
12 without referendum, as provided in paragraph (5) of this
13 subsection.
14 (3) The aggregate amount of bonds issued by the
15 financially distressed district during a fiscal year in
16 which it is authorized to issue bonds under this
17 subsection does not exceed the amount by which the
18 aggregate expenditures of the district for operational
19 purposes during the immediately preceding fiscal year
20 exceeds the amount appropriated for the operational
21 purposes of the district in the annual school budget
22 adopted by the school board of the district for the
23 fiscal year in which the bonds are issued.
24 (4) Throughout each fiscal year in which
25 certification of the district as a financially distressed
26 district continues in effect, the district maintains in
27 effect a gross salary expense and gross wage expense
28 freeze policy under which the district expenditures for
29 total employee salaries and wages do not exceed such
30 expenditures for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
31 Nothing in this paragraph, however, shall be deemed to
32 impair or to require impairment of the contractual
33 obligations, including collective bargaining agreements,
34 of the district or to impair or require the impairment of
-17- LRB9007351NTcw
1 the vested rights of any employee of the district under
2 the terms of any contract or agreement in effect on the
3 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1994.
4 (5) Bonds issued by the financially distressed
5 district under this subsection shall bear interest at a
6 rate not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by law at
7 the time of the making of the contract, shall mature
8 within 40 years from their date of issue, and shall be
9 signed by the president of the school board and treasurer
10 of the school district. In order to issue bonds under
11 this subsection, the school board shall adopt a
12 resolution fixing the amount of the bonds, the date of
13 the bonds, the maturities of the bonds, the rates of
14 interest of the bonds, and their place of payment and
15 denomination, and shall provide for the levy and
16 collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable
17 property in the district sufficient to pay the principal
18 and interest on the bonds to maturity. Upon the filing
19 in the office of the county clerk of the county in which
20 the financially distressed district is located of a
21 certified copy of the resolution, it is the duty of the
22 county clerk to extend the tax therefor in addition to
23 and in excess of all other taxes at any time authorized
24 to be levied by the district. If bond proceeds from the
25 sale of bonds include a premium or if the proceeds of the
26 bonds are invested as authorized by law, the school board
27 shall determine by resolution whether the interest earned
28 on the investment of bond proceeds or the premium
29 realized on the sale of the bonds is to be used for any
30 of the lawful school purposes for which the bonds were
31 issued or for the payment of the principal indebtedness
32 and interest on the bonds. The proceeds of the bond sale
33 shall be deposited in the educational purposes fund of
34 the district and shall be used to pay operational
-18- LRB9007351NTcw
1 expenses of the district. This subsection is cumulative
2 and constitutes complete authority for the issuance of
3 bonds as provided in this subsection, notwithstanding any
4 other law to the contrary.

19 resolution that the improvements to be financed with the
20 proceeds of the bonds are needed because of the projected
21 enrollment increases.

23 resolution that the projected increases in enrollment are
24 the result of improvements made or expected to be made to
25 passenger rail facilities located in the school district.

27 this Section or any other law, bonds in not to exceed an
