AN ACT relating to schools.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The School Code is amended by adding Section |
18-8.10 as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/18-8.10 new) |
Sec. 18-8.10. Fast growth grants.
|
(a) If there has been an increase in a school district's |
student population over the most recent 2 school years of (i) |
over 1.5% in a district with over 10,000 pupils in average |
daily attendance (as defined in Section 18-8.05 of this Code) |
or (ii) over 7.5% in any other district, then the district is |
eligible for a grant under this Section, subject to |
appropriation. |
(b) The State Board of Education shall determine a per |
pupil grant amount for each school district. The total grant |
amount for a district for any given school year shall equal the |
per pupil grant amount multiplied by the difference between the |
number of pupils in average daily attendance for the 2 most |
recent school years. |
(c) Funds for grants under this Section must be |
appropriated to the State Board of Education in a separate line |
item for this purpose. If the amount appropriated in any fiscal |
year is insufficient to pay all grants for a school year, then |
the amount appropriated shall be prorated among eligible |
districts. As soon as possible after funds have been |
appropriated to the State Board of Education, the State Board |
of Education shall distribute the grants to eligible districts. |
(d) If a school district intentionally reports incorrect |
average daily attendance numbers to receive a grant under this |
Section, then the district shall be denied State aid in the |
same manner as State aid is denied for intentional incorrect |
