| AN ACT concerning education.
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section | 5 |
| 13A-8 as follows:
| 6 |
| (105 ILCS 5/13A-8)
| 7 |
| Sec. 13A-8. Funding.
| 8 |
| (a) The State of Illinois shall provide funding for
the
| 9 |
| alternative school programs within each educational service | 10 |
| region and within
the Chicago public school system by line item | 11 |
| appropriation made to the State
Board of Education for that | 12 |
| purpose. This money, when appropriated, shall be
provided to | 13 |
| the regional superintendent and to the Chicago Board of | 14 |
| Education,
who shall establish a budget, including salaries, | 15 |
| for their
alternative school programs.
Each program shall | 16 |
| receive funding in the amount of $30,000 plus an amount
based | 17 |
| on the ratio of the region's or Chicago's best 3 months' | 18 |
| average daily
attendance in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 | 19 |
| to the statewide totals of
these amounts. However, if | 20 |
| $19,035,500 or more is appropriated in a fiscal year for | 21 |
| alternative school programs, then each program shall instead | 22 |
| receive funding in the amount of $50,000 plus an amount
based | 23 |
| on the ratio of the region's or Chicago's best 3 months' | 24 |
| average daily
attendance in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 | 25 |
| to the statewide totals of
these amounts. For purposes of the | 26 |
| funding
this calculation, the best 3 months' average
daily | 27 |
| attendance for each region or Chicago shall be calculated by | 28 |
| adding to
the best 3 months' average
daily
attendance the | 29 |
| number of low-income students identified by the Department of | 30 |
| Human Services and averaged over the 3 immediately preceding | 31 |
| fiscal years,
in the most
recently available federal census
| 32 |
| multiplied by one-half times the percentage
of the
region's or |

| Chicago's low-income students
to the State's total low-income | 2 |
| students.
The State Board of Education shall retain
up to 1.1% | 3 |
| of the appropriation to be used to provide technical | 4 |
| assistance,
professional development, and evaluations for the | 5 |
| programs.
| 6 |
| (a-5) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this | 7 |
| Section, each
for the
1998-1999
fiscal year, the total amount | 8 |
| distributed
under subsection (a) for an alternative school | 9 |
| program shall be not less than
the total amount that was | 10 |
| distributed under that subsection for that
alternative school | 11 |
| program for the 2005-2006
1997-1998 fiscal year. If an | 12 |
| alternative
school program is to receive a total distribution | 13 |
| under subsection (a) for a given
the
1998-1999 fiscal year that | 14 |
| is less than the total
distribution that the program received | 15 |
| under that subsection for the 2005-2006
1997-1998
fiscal year, | 16 |
| that alternative school program shall also receive, from a
| 17 |
| separate appropriation made for purposes of this subsection | 18 |
| (a-5), a
supplementary
payment equal to the amount by which its | 19 |
| total distribution under
subsection (a) for the 2005-2006
| 20 |
| 1997-1998 fiscal year exceeds the amount of the total
| 21 |
| distribution that the alternative school program receives | 22 |
| under that
subsection for the given
1998-1999 fiscal year.
If | 23 |
| the amount appropriated
for supplementary payments to | 24 |
| alternative school programs under this subsection
(a-5)
is | 25 |
| insufficient for that purpose, those supplementary payments | 26 |
| shall be
prorated among the alternative school programs | 27 |
| entitled to receive those
supplementary payments according to | 28 |
| the aggregate amount of the appropriation
made for purposes of | 29 |
| this subsection (a-5).
| 30 |
| (b) An alternative school program shall be entitled to | 31 |
| receive general
State aid as calculated in subsection (K) of
| 32 |
| Section 18-8.05 upon filing a claim as
provided therein. Any | 33 |
| time that a student who is enrolled in an alternative
school | 34 |
| program spends in work-based learning, community service, or a | 35 |
| similar
alternative educational setting shall be included in | 36 |
| determining the student's
minimum number of clock hours of |
