the instruction | 11 | | (1)
of persons of age 21 years or over and (2) of persons less | 12 | | than age 21
and not otherwise in attendance in public school, | 13 | | for the purpose of
providing adults in the community and youths | 14 | | whose schooling has been
interrupted with such additional basic | 15 | | education, vocational skill
training, and other instruction as | 16 | | may be necessary to increase their
qualifications for | 17 | | employment or other means of self-support and their
ability to | 18 | | meet their responsibilities as citizens, including courses of
| 19 | | instruction regularly accepted for graduation from elementary | 20 | | or high

the judgment of the board to permit | 3 | | maximum utilization of the courses
by students with children, | 4 | | and other special needs of the students

from funds appropriated by the State to the Illinois | 16 | | Community College
Board.

Illinois Community College Board shall establish
| 18 | | the standards for the
courses of instruction reimbursed
under | 19 | | this Section. The Illinois Community College Board shall | 20 | | supervise the
administration of the programs. The Illinois | 21 | | Community College Board shall
determine the cost
of instruction | 22 | | in accordance with standards established by the Illinois
| 23 | | Community College Board, including therein
other incidental | 24 | | costs as herein authorized, which shall serve as the basis of
| 25 | | State reimbursement in accordance with the provisions of this | 26 | | Section. In the
approval of programs and the determination of |
