1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 766
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 766 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The School Code is amended by adding Section | ||||||
5 | 18-8.10 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (105 ILCS 5/18-8.10 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 18-8.10. Fast growth grants.
| ||||||
8 | (a) If there has been an increase in a school district's | ||||||
9 | student population over the most recent 2 school years of (i) | ||||||
10 | over 1.5% in a district with over 10,000 pupils in average | ||||||
11 | daily attendance (as defined in Section 18-8.05 of this Code) | ||||||
12 | or (ii) over 7.5% in any other district, then the district is | ||||||
13 | eligible for a grant under this Section, subject to | ||||||
14 | appropriation. | ||||||
15 | (b) The State Board of Education shall determine a per | ||||||
16 | pupil grant amount for each school district. The total grant | ||||||
17 | amount for a district for any given school year shall equal the | ||||||
18 | per pupil grant amount multiplied by the difference between the | ||||||
19 | number of pupils in average daily attendance for the 2 most | ||||||
20 | recent school years. | ||||||
21 | (c) Funds for grants under this Section must be | ||||||
22 | appropriated to the State Board of Education in a separate line | ||||||
23 | item for this purpose. If the amount appropriated in any fiscal | ||||||
24 | year is insufficient to pay all grants for a school year, then |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the amount appropriated shall be prorated among eligible | ||||||
2 | districts. As soon as possible after funds have been | ||||||
3 | appropriated to the State Board of Education, the State Board | ||||||
4 | of Education shall distribute the grants to eligible districts. | ||||||
5 | (d) If a school district intentionally reports incorrect | ||||||
6 | average daily attendance numbers to receive a grant under this | ||||||
7 | Section, then the district shall be denied State aid in the | ||||||
8 | same manner as State aid is denied for intentional incorrect | ||||||
9 | reporting of average daily attendance numbers under Section | ||||||
10 | 18-8.05 of this Code.
| ||||||
11 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
12 | becoming law.".
