| accordance with Article 7 of this Code, the following payments | 2 |
| shall be made from appropriations made for these purposes: | 3 |
| (a)(1) For a combined school district, as defined in | 4 |
| Section 11E-20 of this Code, or for a unit district, as defined | 5 |
| in Section 11E-25 of this Code, for its first year of | 6 |
| existence, the general State aid and supplemental general State | 7 |
| aid calculated under Section 18-8.05 of this Code shall be | 8 |
| computed for the new district and for the previously existing | 9 |
| districts for which property is totally included within the new | 10 |
| district. If the computation on the basis of the previously | 11 |
| existing districts is greater, a supplementary payment equal to | 12 |
| the difference shall be made for the first 4 years of existence | 13 |
| of the new district. | 14 |
| (2) For a school district that annexes all of the territory | 15 |
| of one or more entire other school districts as defined in | 16 |
| Article 7 of this Code, for the first year during which the | 17 |
| change of boundaries attributable to the annexation becomes | 18 |
| effective for all purposes, as determined under Section 7-9 of | 19 |
| this Code, the general State aid and supplemental general State | 20 |
| aid calculated under Section 18-8.05 of this Code shall be | 21 |
| computed for the annexing district as constituted after the | 22 |
| annexation and for the annexing and each annexed district as | 23 |
| constituted prior to the annexation; and if the computation on | 24 |
| the basis of the annexing and annexed districts as constituted | 25 |
| prior to the annexation is greater, then a supplementary | 26 |

| constituted upon the annexation. | 3 |
| (3) For 2 or more school districts that annex all of the | 4 |
| territory of one or more entire other school districts, as | 5 |
| defined in Article 7 of this Code, for the first year during | 6 |
| which the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation | 7 |
| becomes effective for all purposes, as determined under Section | 8 |
| 7-9 of this Code, the general State aid and supplemental | 9 |
| general State aid calculated under Section 18-8.05 of this Code | 10 |
| shall be computed for each annexing district as constituted | 11 |
| after the annexation and for each annexing and annexed district | 12 |
| as constituted prior to the annexation; and if the aggregate of | 13 |
| the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so | 14 |
| computed for the annexing districts as constituted after the | 15 |
| annexation is less than the aggregate of the general State aid | 16 |
| and supplemental general State aid as so computed for the | 17 |
| annexing and annexed districts, as constituted prior to the | 18 |
| annexation, then a supplementary payment equal to the | 19 |
| difference shall be made and allocated between or among the | 20 |
| annexing districts, as constituted upon the annexation, for the | 21 |
| first 4 years of their existence. The total difference payment | 22 |
| shall be allocated between or among the annexing districts in | 23 |
| the same ratio as the pupil enrollment from that portion of the | 24 |
| annexed district or districts that is annexed to each annexing | 25 |
| district bears to the total pupil enrollment from the entire | 26 |
| annexed district or districts, as such pupil enrollment is |

| determined for the school year last ending prior to the date | 2 |
| when the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation | 3 |
| becomes effective for all purposes. The amount of the total | 4 |
| difference payment and the amount thereof to be allocated to | 5 |
| the annexing districts shall be computed by the State Board of | 6 |
| Education on the basis of pupil enrollment and other data that | 7 |
| shall be certified to the State Board of Education, on forms | 8 |
| that it shall provide for that purpose, by the regional | 9 |
| superintendent of schools for each educational service region | 10 |
| in which the annexing and annexed districts are located. | 11 |
| (4) For a school district conversion, as defined in Section | 12 |
| 11E-15 of this Code, or a multi-unit conversion, as defined in | 13 |
| subsection (b) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, if in their | 14 |
| first year of existence the newly created elementary districts | 15 |
| and the newly created high school district, from a school | 16 |
| district conversion, or the newly created elementary district | 17 |
| or districts and newly created combined high school - unit | 18 |
| district, from a multi-unit conversion, qualify for less | 19 |
| general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of this Code than would | 20 |
| have been payable under Section 18-8.05 for that same year to | 21 |
| the previously existing districts, then a supplementary | 22 |
| payment equal to that difference shall be made for the first 4 | 23 |
| years of existence of the newly created districts. The | 24 |
| aggregate amount of each supplementary payment shall be | 25 |
| allocated among the newly created districts in the proportion | 26 |
| that the deemed pupil enrollment in each district during its |

| first year of existence bears to the actual aggregate pupil | 2 |
| enrollment in all of the districts during their first year of | 3 |
| existence. For purposes of each allocation: | 4 |
| (A) the deemed pupil enrollment of the newly created | 5 |
| high school district from a school district conversion | 6 |
| shall be an amount equal to its actual pupil enrollment for | 7 |
| its first year of existence multiplied by 1.25; | 8 |
| (B) the deemed pupil enrollment of each newly created | 9 |
| elementary district from a school district conversion | 10 |
| shall be an amount equal to its actual pupil enrollment for | 11 |
| its first year of existence reduced by an amount equal to | 12 |
| the product obtained when the amount by which the newly | 13 |
| created high school district's deemed pupil enrollment | 14 |
| exceeds its actual pupil enrollment for its first year of | 15 |
| existence is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of | 16 |
| which is the actual pupil enrollment of the newly created | 17 |
| elementary district for its first year of existence and the | 18 |
| denominator of which is the actual aggregate pupil | 19 |
| enrollment of all of the newly created elementary districts | 20 |
| for their first year of existence; | 21 |
| (C) the deemed high school pupil enrollment of the | 22 |
| newly created combined high school - unit district from a | 23 |
| multi-unit conversion shall be an amount equal to its | 24 |
| actual grades 9 through 12 pupil enrollment for its first | 25 |
| year of existence multiplied by 1.25; and | 26 |
| (D) the deemed elementary pupil enrollment of each |

| newly created district from a multi-unit conversion shall | 2 |
| be an amount equal to each district's actual grade K | 3 |
| through 8 pupil enrollment for its first year of existence, | 4 |
| reduced by an amount equal to the product obtained when the | 5 |
| amount by which the newly created combined high school - | 6 |
| unit district's deemed high school pupil enrollment | 7 |
| exceeds its actual grade 9 through 12 pupil enrollment for | 8 |
| its first year of existence is multiplied by a fraction, | 9 |
| the numerator of which is the actual grade K through 8 | 10 |
| pupil enrollment of each newly created district for its | 11 |
| first year of existence and the denominator of which is the | 12 |
| actual aggregate grade K through 8 pupil enrollment of all | 13 |
| such newly created districts for their first year of | 14 |
| existence. | 15 |
|
The aggregate amount of each supplementary payment under | 16 |
| this subdivision (4) and the amount thereof to be allocated to | 17 |
| the newly created districts shall be computed by the State | 18 |
| Board of Education on the basis of pupil enrollment and other | 19 |
| data, which shall be certified to the State Board of Education, | 20 |
| on forms that it shall provide for that purpose, by the | 21 |
| regional superintendent of schools for each educational | 22 |
| service region in which the newly created districts are | 23 |
| located.
| 24 |
| (5) For a partial elementary unit district, as defined in | 25 |
| subsection (a) or (c) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, if, in | 26 |

| and supplemental general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of | 3 |
| this Code than would have been payable under that Section for | 4 |
| that same year to the previously existing districts that formed | 5 |
| the partial elementary unit district, then a supplementary | 6 |
| payment equal to that difference shall be made to the partial | 7 |
| elementary unit district for the first 4 years of existence of | 8 |
| that newly created district. | 9 |
| (6) For an elementary opt-in, as described in subsection | 10 |
| (d) of Section 11E-30 of this Code, the general State aid | 11 |
| difference shall be computed in accordance with paragraph (5) | 12 |
| of this subsection (a) as if the elementary opt-in was included | 13 |
| in an optional elementary unit district at the optional | 14 |
| elementary unit district's original effective date. If the | 15 |
| calculation in this paragraph (6) is less than that calculated | 16 |
| in paragraph (5) of this subsection (a) at the optional | 17 |
| elementary unit district's original effective date, then no | 18 |
| adjustments may be made. If the calculation in this paragraph | 19 |
| (6) is more than that calculated in paragraph (5) of this | 20 |
| subsection (a) at the optional elementary unit district's | 21 |
| original effective date, then the excess must be paid as | 22 |
| follows: | 23 |
| (A) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is | 24 |
| one year after the effective date for the optional | 25 |
| elementary unit district, 100% of the calculated excess | 26 |

| (C) If the effective date for the elementary opt-in is | 10 |

| shall be paid to the optional elementary unit district in | 13 |

| for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 of this Code, | 6 |
| the general State aid and supplemental general State aid | 7 |
| calculated under this Section shall be computed for the | 8 |
| district gaining territory and the district losing territory as | 9 |
| constituted after the annexation and for the same districts as | 10 |
| constituted prior to the annexation; and if the aggregate of | 11 |
| the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so | 12 |
| computed for the district gaining territory and the district | 13 |
| losing territory as constituted after the annexation is less | 14 |
| than the aggregate of the general State aid and supplemental | 15 |
