Synopsis As Introduced Amends the School Code. Provides that if a pupil is suspended for more than 2 school days, the pupil's parent or guardian may chose to place the pupil in a community-based education program during those days of suspension and the school district must pay the community-based education program an amount equal to the amount the school spends per pupil per day for each day that the pupil is suspended and attends the program. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective July 1, 2003.
Fiscal Note (Illinois State Board of Education)
Because the Act is specifically exempted from the State Mandates Act, there is no fiscal impact to the state. School districts, however, will bear the cost of sending suspended students to community-based education programs without any offsetting savings to their budgets.

Requires a school board to compile a list of local facilities and organizations that have an education program that a suspended student can attend during the period of time of his or her suspension.

Effective immediately.
House Floor Amendment No. 2 Requires a school board to compile the list only if local facilities and organizations are available.
