 1        AN ACT relating to schools.

 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
 5    Section 18-8.05 as follows:

 6        (105 ILCS 5/18-8.05)
 7        Sec.  18-8.05.  Basis  for apportionment of general State
 8    financial aid and  supplemental  general  State  aid  to  the
 9    common schools for the 1998-1999 and subsequent school years.

10    (A)  General Provisions.
11        (1)  The   provisions   of  this  Section  apply  to  the
12    1998-1999 and subsequent school years.  The system of general
13    State financial aid provided for in this Section is  designed
14    to  assure that, through a combination of State financial aid
15    and required local resources, the financial support  provided
16    each  pupil  in  Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
17    prescribed per pupil Foundation Level.  This formula approach
18    imputes a level of per pupil Available  Local  Resources  and
19    provides  for  the  basis  to  calculate a per pupil level of
20    general State financial aid that,  when  added  to  Available
21    Local Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level.  The
22    amount  of  per  pupil general State financial aid for school
23    districts,  in  general,  varies  in  inverse   relation   to
24    Available  Local Resources.  Per pupil amounts are based upon
25    each school district's Average Daily Attendance as that  term
26    is defined in this Section.
27        (2)  In  addition  to general State financial aid, school
28    districts with specified levels or concentrations  of  pupils
29    from   low   income   households   are  eligible  to  receive
30    supplemental general State financial aid grants  as  provided
31    pursuant to subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -2-                 LRB9207211NTsb
 1    provided  for  school districts under subsection (H) shall be
 2    appropriated for distribution to school districts as part  of
 3    the  same  line item in which the general State financial aid
 4    of school districts is appropriated under this Section.
 5        (3)  To receive financial assistance under this  Section,
 6    school  districts  are required to file claims with the State
 7    Board of Education, subject to the following requirements:
 8             (a)  Any school district which fails for  any  given
 9        school  year to maintain school as required by law, or to
10        maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file  for
11        such  school  year any claim upon the Common School Fund.
12        In case of  nonrecognition  of  one  or  more  attendance
13        centers   in   a   school  district  otherwise  operating
14        recognized schools, the claim of the  district  shall  be
15        reduced   in  the  proportion  which  the  Average  Daily
16        Attendance in the attendance center or  centers  bear  to
17        the  Average  Daily Attendance in the school district.  A
18        "recognized school" means any public school  which  meets
19        the standards as established for recognition by the State
20        Board  of  Education.   A  school  district or attendance
21        center not having recognition status  at  the  end  of  a
22        school term is entitled to receive State aid payments due
23        upon   a  legal  claim  which  was  filed  while  it  was
24        recognized.
25             (b)  School district claims filed under this Section
26        are subject to Sections 18-9, 18-10, and 18-12, except as
27        otherwise provided in this Section.
28             (c)  If a  school  district  operates  a  full  year
29        school  under  Section  10-19.1, the general State aid to
30        the school district shall  be  determined  by  the  State
31        Board  of  Education  in  accordance with this Section as
32        near as may be applicable.
33             (d) (Blank).
34        (4)  Except as provided in subsections (H) and  (L),  the
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -3-                 LRB9207211NTsb
 1    board  of  any  district receiving any of the grants provided
 2    for in this Section may apply those  funds  to  any  fund  so
 3    received   for   which  that  board  is  authorized  to  make
 4    expenditures by law.
 5        School districts are not  required  to  exert  a  minimum
 6    Operating  Tax  Rate in order to qualify for assistance under
 7    this Section.
 8        (5)  As used in this Section the  following  terms,  when
 9    capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
10             (a)  "Average  Daily  Attendance":  A count of pupil
11        attendance  in  school,  averaged  as  provided  for   in
12        subsection   (C)  and  utilized  in  deriving  per  pupil
13        financial support levels.
14             (b)  "Available Local Resources":  A computation  of
15        local  financial  support,  calculated  on  the  basis of
16        Average Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant
17        to subsection (D).
18             (c)  "Corporate   Personal   Property    Replacement
19        Taxes":  Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to
20        "An  Act  in  relation  to  the  abolition  of ad valorem
21        personal property tax and  the  replacement  of  revenues
22        lost thereby, and amending and repealing certain Acts and
23        parts  of Acts in connection therewith", certified August
24        14, 1979, as amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
25             (d)  "Foundation Level":  A prescribed level of  per
26        pupil  financial  support  as  provided for in subsection
27        (B).
28             (e)  "Operating  Tax  Rate":   All  school  district

32    (B)  Foundation Level.
33        (1)  The  Foundation Level is a figure established by the
34    State representing the minimum level of per  pupil  financial
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -4-                 LRB9207211NTsb
 1    support  that  should  be  available to provide for the basic
 2    education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance.  As  set
 3    forth  in  this  Section,  each school district is assumed to
 4    exert  a  sufficient  local  taxing  effort  such  that,   in
 5    combination with the aggregate of general State financial aid
 6    provided  the  district,  an  aggregate  of  State  and local
 7    resources are available to meet the basic education needs  of
 8    pupils in the district.
 9        (2)  For  the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level
10    of support is $4,225.  For the  1999-2000  school  year,  the
11    Foundation  Level  of  support  is $4,325.  For the 2000-2001
12    school year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425.
13        (3)  For the 2001-2002 school year and each  school  year
14    thereafter,  the Foundation Level of support is $4,560 $4,425
15    or such greater amount as may be established by  law  by  the
16    General Assembly.

17    (C)  Average Daily Attendance.
18        (1)  For   purposes  of  calculating  general  State  aid
19    pursuant to  subsection  (E),  an  Average  Daily  Attendance
20    figure  shall  be  utilized.   The  Average  Daily Attendance
21    figure for formula calculation purposes shall be the  monthly
22    average  of the actual number of pupils in attendance of each
23    school district, as further averaged for the best 3 months of
24    pupil attendance for each school district.  In compiling  the
25    figures  for  the  number  of  pupils  in  attendance, school
26    districts  and  the  State  Board  of  Education  shall,  for
27    purposes of general State  aid  funding,  conform  attendance
28    figures to the requirements of subsection (F).
29        (2)  The  Average  Daily  Attendance  figures utilized in
30    subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
31    school year immediately preceding the school year  for  which
32    general  State  aid is being calculated or the average of the
33    attendance data for the 3 preceding school  years,  whichever
34    is greater.  The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -5-                 LRB9207211NTsb
 1    subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
 2    school  year  immediately preceding the school year for which
 3    general State aid is being calculated.

 4    (D)  Available Local Resources.
 5        (1)  For  purposes  of  calculating  general  State   aid
 6    pursuant  to  subsection  (E),  a representation of Available
 7    Local Resources per  pupil,  as  that  term  is  defined  and
 8    determined  in this subsection, shall be utilized.  Available
 9    Local Resources per pupil shall include a  calculated  dollar
10    amount representing local school district revenues from local
11    property   taxes   and   from   Corporate  Personal  Property
12    Replacement Taxes,  expressed  on  the  basis  of  pupils  in
13    Average Daily Attendance.
14        (2)  In  determining  a  school  district's  revenue from
15    local property taxes, the  State  Board  of  Education  shall
16    utilize  the  equalized  assessed  valuation  of  all taxable
17    property of each school district as of September  30  of  the
18    previous  year.   The  equalized  assessed valuation utilized
19    shall be obtained and determined as  provided  in  subsection
20    (G).
21        (3)  For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten
22    through  12,  local  property tax revenues per pupil shall be
23    calculated  as  the  product  of  the  applicable   equalized
24    assessed  valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and
25    divided by the district's Average  Daily  Attendance  figure.
26    For  school districts maintaining grades kindergarten through
27    8, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be  calculated
28    as the product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation
29    for  the  district  multiplied  by  2.30%, and divided by the
30    district's  Average  Daily  Attendance  figure.   For  school
31    districts maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax
32    revenues per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed
33    valuation of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by
34    the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -6-                 LRB9207211NTsb
 1        (4)  The Corporate Personal  Property  Replacement  Taxes
 2    paid to each school district during the calendar year 2 years
 3    before  the  calendar  year  in  which  a school year begins,
 4    divided by the  Average  Daily  Attendance  figure  for  that
 5    district,  shall  be added to the local property tax revenues
 6    per pupil as derived by the application  of  the  immediately
 7    preceding  paragraph (3).  The sum of these per pupil figures
 8    for each school district  shall  constitute  Available  Local
 9    Resources  as  that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the
10    calculation of general State aid.

11    (E)  Computation of General State Aid.
12        (1)  For each school year, the amount  of  general  State
13    aid  allotted  to  a school district shall be computed by the
14    State Board of Education as provided in this subsection.
15        (2)  For any school district for  which  Available  Local
16    Resources  per  pupil  is less than the product of 0.93 times
17    the Foundation Level, general State  aid  for  that  district
18    shall  be  calculated  as  an  amount equal to the Foundation
19    Level minus Available  Local  Resources,  multiplied  by  the
20    Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
21        (3)  For  any  school  district for which Available Local
22    Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than  the  product
23    of  0.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product
24    of 1.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per
25    pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the  Foundation  Level
26    derived   using   a  linear  algorithm.   Under  this  linear
27    algorithm, the calculated general State aid per  pupil  shall
28    decline   in  direct  linear  fashion  from  0.07  times  the
29    Foundation Level for a school district with  Available  Local
30    Resources  equal  to the product of 0.93 times the Foundation
31    Level, to 0.05  times  the  Foundation  Level  for  a  school
32    district  with Available Local Resources equal to the product
33    of 1.75  times  the  Foundation  Level.   The  allocation  of
34    general  State  aid  for  school  districts  subject  to this
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -7-                 LRB9207211NTsb
 1    paragraph 3 shall be the calculated  general  State  aid  per
 2    pupil  figure  multiplied  by the Average Daily Attendance of
 3    the school district.
 4        (4)  For any school district for  which  Available  Local
 5    Resources  per  pupil  equals  or exceeds the product of 1.75
 6    times the Foundation Level, the general  State  aid  for  the
 7    school  district  shall  be calculated as the product of $218
 8    multiplied by the Average  Daily  Attendance  of  the  school
 9    district.
10        (5)  The  amount  of  general  State  aid  allocated to a
11    school district for the 1999-2000  school  year  meeting  the
12    requirements  set  forth  in  paragraph (4) of subsection (G)
13    shall be increased by an amount equal to  the  general  State
14    aid  that  would  have  been received by the district for the
15    1998-1999 school year by utilizing the  Extension  Limitation
16    Equalized  Assessed  Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4)
17    of subsection (G) less the general State aid allotted for the
18    1998-1999 school year.  This amount shall  be  deemed  a  one
19    time  increase, and shall not affect any future general State
20    aid allocations.

21    (F)  Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
22        (1)  Each school district shall, by July 1 of each  year,
23    submit  to  the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed
24    by the State Board of Education, attendance figures  for  the
25    school  year  that began in the preceding calendar year.  The
26    attendance information  so  transmitted  shall  identify  the
27    average daily attendance figures for each month of the school
28    year,  except  that any days of attendance in August shall be
29    added to the month of September and any days of attendance in
30    June shall be added to the month of May.
31        Except as otherwise provided in  this  Section,  days  of
32    attendance  by  pupils  shall be counted only for sessions of
33    not less than 5 clock hours of  school  work  per  day  under
34    direct  supervision  of:  (i)  teachers, or (ii) non-teaching

18        upon  the first day of pupil attendance, if preceded by a
19        day  or  days  utilized  as  an  institute  or  teachers'
20        workshop.
21             (c)  A session of 4  or  more  clock  hours  may  be
22        counted  as a day of attendance upon certification by the
23        regional  superintendent,  and  approved  by  the   State
24        Superintendent  of  Education  to  the  extent  that  the
25        district has been forced to use daily multiple sessions.
26             (d)  A  session  of  3  or  more  clock hours may be
27        counted as a day of attendance (1) when the remainder  of

 1        or,  in  lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days may be used, in
 2        which event each such day may be  counted  as  a  day  of
 3        attendance;  and  (2)  when  days  in  addition  to those
 4        provided in item (1) are scheduled by a  school  pursuant
 5        to  its  school improvement plan adopted under Article 34

16        minutes  by  which such sessions of 3 or more clock hours
17        fall short of 5 clock hours. Any full days used  for  the
18        purposes  of  this  paragraph shall not be considered for
19        computing average daily attendance.  Days  scheduled  for
20        in-service    training    programs,   staff   development
21        activities,  or   parent-teacher   conferences   may   be

24             (e)  A  session  of  not less than one clock hour of
25        teaching hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site  or  by
26        telephone  to  the classroom may be counted as 1/2 day of
27        attendance, however these pupils must receive 4  or  more

29        of attendance.
30             (f)  A session of at least  4  clock  hours  may  be
31        counted  as  a  day of attendance for first grade pupils,
32        and pupils in full day kindergartens, and a session of  2

19        a full day of attendance by each pupil shall  be  counted
20        the  same  as attendance by first grade pupils.  Only the
21        first year of attendance in  one  kindergarten  shall  be
22        counted,  except  in  case  of  children  who entered the
23        kindergarten  in  their  fifth  year  whose   educational
24        development  requires  a  second  year of kindergarten as
25        determined under the rules and regulations of  the  State
26        Board of Education.

27    (G)  Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
28        (1)  For  purposes  of the calculation of Available Local
29    Resources required pursuant  to  subsection  (D),  the  State
30    Board  of  Education  shall  secure  from  the  Department of
31    Revenue the value as equalized or assessed by the  Department
32    of  Revenue of all taxable property of every school district,
33    together with (i) the applicable tax rate used  in  extending
34    taxes for the funds of the district as of September 30 of the
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -11-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1    previous  year  and  (ii)  the  limiting  rate for all school
 2    districts subject to property tax  extension  limitations  as
 3    imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
 4        This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by
 5    the requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the
 6    calculation of Available Local Resources.
 7        (2)  The  equalized  assessed  valuation in paragraph (1)
 8    shall be adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner:
 9             (a)  For the purposes of calculating State aid under
10        this Section, with  respect  to  any  part  of  a  school
11        district  within  a redevelopment project area in respect
12        to  which  a  municipality  has  adopted  tax   increment
13        allocation   financing  pursuant  to  the  Tax  Increment
14        Allocation Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1  through
15        11-74.4-11   of   the  Illinois  Municipal  Code  or  the
16        Industrial Jobs Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1  through
17        11-74.6-50 of the Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the
18        current  equalized  assessed  valuation  of real property
19        located in any such project area which is attributable to
20        an increase above the total  initial  equalized  assessed
21        valuation  of  such property shall be used as part of the
22        equalized assessed valuation of the district, until  such
23        time  as  all redevelopment project costs have been paid,
24        as provided in Section 11-74.4-8  of  the  Tax  Increment
25        Allocation  Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of
26        the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law.  For the purpose of the
27        equalized assessed valuation of the district,  the  total
28        initial  equalized  assessed  valuation  or  the  current
29        equalized  assessed  valuation, whichever is lower, shall
30        be used until such  time  as  all  redevelopment  project
31        costs have been paid.
32             (b)  The  real property equalized assessed valuation
33        for a school district shall be  adjusted  by  subtracting
34        from  the real property value as equalized or assessed by
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -12-                LRB9207211NTsb

 2        computed by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes
 3        under  Section  18-170  of the Property Tax Code by 3.00%
 4        for a district maintaining  grades  kindergarten  through
 5        12,   by   2.30%   for   a  district  maintaining  grades
 6        kindergarten through  8,  or  by  1.05%  for  a  district
 7        maintaining grades 9 through 12 and adjusted by an amount
 8        computed by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes
 9        under  subsection  (a)  of Section 18-165 of the Property
10        Tax Code by the same percentage rates for  district  type
11        as specified in this subparagraph (b).
12        (3)  For  the  1999-2000 school year and each school year
13    thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of
14    this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local
15    Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using  the
16    district's  Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation
17    as calculated under this subsection (G)(3).
18        For purposes of  this  subsection  (G)(3)  the  following
19    terms shall have the following meanings:
20             "Budget  Year":   The  school year for which general
21        State aid is calculated and awarded under subsection (E).
22             "Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used  to
23        calculate  the  Budget  Year  allocation of general State
24        aid.
25             "Preceding Tax Year": The  property  tax  levy  year
26        immediately preceding the Base Tax Year.
27             "Base  Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the
28        equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk
29        in the Base Tax Year multiplied by the limiting  rate  as
30        calculated  by  the  County  Clerk  and  defined  in  the
31        Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
32             "Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of
33        the  equalized  assessed valuation utilized by the County
34        Clerk  in  the  Preceding  Tax  Year  multiplied  by  the
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -13-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1        Operating Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A).

 6             "Operating  Tax  Rate":  The  operating  tax rate as
 7        defined in subsection (A).
 8        If a school district is subject to property tax extension
 9    limitations as  imposed  under  the  Property  Tax  Extension
10    Limitation  Law, and if the Available Local Resources of that
11    school district as  calculated  pursuant  to  subsection  (D)
12    using  the  Base  Tax  Year are less than the product of 1.75
13    times the Foundation Level for the  Budget  Year,  the  State
14    Board  of  Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation
15    Equalized Assessed  Valuation  of  that  district.   For  the
16    1999-2000  school  year,  the  Extension Limitation Equalized
17    Assessed Valuation of a school district as calculated by  the
18    State Board of Education shall be equal to the product of the
19    district's   1996   Equalized   Assessed  Valuation  and  the
20    district's Extension Limitation  Ratio.   For  the  2000-2001
21    school  year  and  each school year thereafter, the Extension
22    Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school  district

25    Equalized  Assessed  Valuation  and  the district's Extension
26    Limitation  Ratio.  If  the  Extension  Limitation  Equalized
27    Assessed Valuation of a school district as  calculated  under
28    this  subsection (G)(3) is less than the district's equalized
29    assessed valuation  as  calculated  pursuant  to  subsections
30    (G)(1)  and  (G)(2),  then  for  purposes  of calculating the
31    district's general State aid for the Budget Year pursuant  to
32    subsection  (E), that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
33    Valuation shall  be  utilized  to  calculate  the  district's
34    Available Local Resources under subsection (D).
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -14-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1        (4)  For  the  purposes  of calculating general State aid
 2    for the 1999-2000 school year  only,  if  a  school  district
 3    experienced   a   triennial  reassessment  on  the  equalized
 4    assessed valuation used  in  calculating  its  general  State
 5    financial  aid  apportionment  for the 1998-1999 school year,
 6    the State Board of Education shall  calculate  the  Extension
 7    Limitation  Equalized Assessed Valuation that would have been
 8    used to calculate the district's 1998-1999 general State aid.
 9    This amount shall equal the product of the equalized assessed
10    valuation  used  to  calculate  general  State  aid  for  the
11    1997-1998 school year and the district's Extension Limitation
12    Ratio.   If  the  Extension  Limitation  Equalized   Assessed
13    Valuation  of  the  school  district as calculated under this
14    paragraph (4) is less than the district's equalized  assessed
15    valuation  utilized  in  calculating the district's 1998-1999
16    general  State  aid  allocation,   then   for   purposes   of
17    calculating  the  district's  general  State  aid pursuant to
18    paragraph (5) of subsection (E),  that  Extension  Limitation
19    Equalized  Assessed  Valuation shall be utilized to calculate
20    the district's Available Local Resources.
21        (5)  For school districts  having  a  majority  of  their
22    equalized  assessed  valuation  in  any  county  except Cook,
23    DuPage, Kane, Lake,  McHenry,  or  Will,  if  the  amount  of
24    general  State  aid  allocated to the school district for the
25    1999-2000 school year under the provisions of subsection (E),
26    (H), and (J) of this Section  is  less  than  the  amount  of
27    general State aid allocated to the district for the 1998-1999
28    school  year  under these subsections, then the general State
29    aid of the district for the 1999-2000 school year only  shall
30    be  increased  by  the difference between these amounts.  The
31    total payments made under this paragraph (5) shall not exceed
32    $14,000,000.   Claims  shall  be  prorated  if  they   exceed
33    $14,000,000.

34    (H)  Supplemental General State Aid.

 2    district is allotted pursuant to subsection  (E),  qualifying
 3    school  districts  shall receive a grant, paid in conjunction
 4    with  a  district's  payments  of  general  State  aid,   for
 5    supplemental  general  State aid based upon the concentration
 6    level of  children  from  low-income  households  within  the
 7    school  district.  Supplemental State aid grants provided for

 9    for distribution to school districts as part of the same line
10    item  in  which  the  general  State  financial aid of school
11    districts is appropriated under this Section. For purposes of
12    this subsection, the term  "Low-Income  Concentration  Level"
13    shall  be  the  low-income eligible pupil count from the most
14    recently available federal  census  divided  by  the  Average
15    Daily  Attendance  of  the  school district. If, however, the
16    percentage decrease from the 2 most recent  federal  censuses
17    in  the  low-income  eligible  pupil  count  of a high school
18    district with fewer than 400 students exceeds by 75% or  more
19    the  percentage change in the total low-income eligible pupil
20    count  of  contiguous  elementary  school  districts,   whose
21    boundaries are coterminous with the high school district, the
22    high  school  district's low-income eligible pupil count from
23    the earlier federal census shall be the number  used  as  the
24    low-income eligible pupil count for the high school district,

10        income eligible pupil count.
11             (e)  For  the  1999-2000  school year, the per pupil
12        amount specified  in  subparagraphs  (b),  (c),  and  (d)

22        herein,  the  State  aid  funds  affected by that plan or
23        modified plan shall be withheld by  the  State  Board  of
24        Education until a plan or modified plan is submitted.
25             If  the  district  fails  to distribute State aid to
26        attendance centers in accordance with an  approved  plan,
27        the  plan for the following year shall allocate funds, in
28        addition  to  the  funds  otherwise  required   by   this
29        subsection,   to  those  attendance  centers  which  were
30        underfunded during the previous year in amounts equal  to
31        such underfunding.
32             For  purposes  of  determining  compliance with this
33        subsection in relation to the requirements of  attendance
34        center  funding,  each district subject to the provisions
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -20-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1        of this subsection shall submit as a separate document by
 2        December 1 of each year a report of expenditure data  for
 3        the  prior  year  in  addition to any modification of its
 4        current plan.  If it is determined that there has been  a
 5        failure to comply with the expenditure provisions of this
 6        subsection  regarding  contravention  or supplanting, the
 7        State Superintendent of Education shall, within  60  days
 8        of  receipt  of  the  report, notify the district and any
 9        affected local school council.  The district shall within
10        45 days of receipt of that notification inform the  State
11        Superintendent of Education of the remedial or corrective
12        action  to be taken, whether  by amendment of the current
13        plan, if feasible, or by adjustment in the plan  for  the
14        following  year.   Failure  to  provide  the  expenditure
15        report  or  the  notification  of  remedial or corrective
16        action in a timely manner shall result in  a  withholding
17        of the affected funds.
18             The  State Board of Education shall promulgate rules
19        and regulations  to  implement  the  provisions  of  this
20        subsection.   No  funds  shall  be  released  under  this
21        subdivision (H)(4) to any district that has not submitted
22        a  plan  that  has  been  approved  by the State Board of
23        Education.

24    (I)  General State Aid for Newly Configured School Districts.
25        (1)  For  a  new  school  district  formed  by  combining
26    property  included  totally  within  2  or  more   previously
27    existing  school  districts,  for its first year of existence
28    the general State aid  and  supplemental  general  State  aid
29    calculated  under  this Section shall be computed for the new
30    district and for the previously existing districts for  which
31    property is totally included within the new district.  If the
32    computation on the basis of the previously existing districts
33    is  greater,  a supplementary payment equal to the difference
34    shall be made for the first 4 years of existence of  the  new
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -21-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1    district.
 2        (2)  For  a  school  district  which  annexes  all of the
 3    territory of one or more entire other school  districts,  for
 4    the   first  year  during  which  the  change  of  boundaries
 5    attributable to such annexation  becomes  effective  for  all
 6    purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 7A-8, the general
 7    State aid and supplemental general State aid calculated under
 8    this  Section  shall be computed for the annexing district as
 9    constituted after the annexation and  for  the  annexing  and
10    each annexed district as constituted prior to the annexation;
11    and  if  the  computation  on  the  basis of the annexing and
12    annexed districts as constituted prior to the  annexation  is
13    greater,  a  supplementary  payment  equal  to the difference
14    shall be made for the first  4  years  of  existence  of  the
15    annexing school district as constituted upon such annexation.
16        (3)  For  2  or  more school districts which annex all of
17    the territory of one or more entire other  school  districts,
18    and  for 2 or more community unit districts which result upon
19    the division (pursuant to petition under  Section  11A-2)  of
20    one  or more other unit school districts into 2 or more parts
21    and which together include all of the parts into  which  such
22    other  unit  school district or districts are so divided, for
23    the  first  year  during  which  the  change  of   boundaries
24    attributable to such annexation or division becomes effective
25    for  all  purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 11A-10,
26    as the case may be, the general State  aid  and  supplemental
27    general  State  aid  calculated  under  this Section shall be
28    computed  for  each  annexing  or   resulting   district   as
29    constituted  after  the  annexation  or division and for each
30    annexing and annexed district,  or  for  each  resulting  and
31    divided  district,  as constituted prior to the annexation or
32    division; and if the aggregate of the general State  aid  and
33    supplemental  general  State  aid  as  so  computed  for  the
34    annexing  or  resulting  districts  as  constituted after the
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -22-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1    annexation or division is less  than  the  aggregate  of  the
 2    general  State  aid  and supplemental general State aid as so
 3    computed for the annexing and annexed districts, or  for  the
 4    resulting  and divided districts, as constituted prior to the
 5    annexation or division, then a supplementary payment equal to
 6    the difference shall be made and allocated between  or  among
 7    the annexing or resulting districts, as constituted upon such
 8    annexation  or  division,  for  the  first  4  years of their
 9    existence.  The total difference payment shall  be  allocated
10    between  or  among the annexing or resulting districts in the
11    same ratio as the pupil enrollment from that portion  of  the
12    annexed  or divided district or districts which is annexed to
13    or included in each such annexing or resulting district bears
14    to the total pupil enrollment  from  the  entire  annexed  or
15    divided  district  or  districts, as such pupil enrollment is
16    determined for the school year last ending prior to the  date
17    when  the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation
18    or division becomes effective for all purposes.   The  amount
19    of  the total difference payment and the amount thereof to be
20    allocated to the annexing or  resulting  districts  shall  be
21    computed  by  the  State  Board  of Education on the basis of
22    pupil enrollment and other data which shall be  certified  to
23    the State Board of Education, on forms which it shall provide
24    for  that  purpose, by the regional superintendent of schools
25    for each educational service region in which the annexing and
26    annexed districts, or resulting  and  divided  districts  are
27    located.
28        (3.5)  Claims   for   financial   assistance  under  this
29    subsection (I) shall not be recomputed  except  as  expressly
30    provided under this Section.
31        (4)  Any supplementary payment made under this subsection
32    (I) shall be treated as separate from all other payments made
33    pursuant to this Section.

34    (J)  Supplementary Grants in Aid.
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -23-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1        (1)  Notwithstanding   any   other   provisions  of  this
 2    Section, the amount of the aggregate  general  State  aid  in
 3    combination  with  supplemental  general State aid under this
 4    Section for which each school district is eligible  shall  be
 5    no  less  than  the amount of the aggregate general State aid
 6    entitlement that was received by the district  under  Section
 7    18-8  (exclusive  of  amounts received under subsections 5(p)
 8    and 5(p-5) of that Section)  for  the  1997-98  school  year,
 9    pursuant  to the provisions of that Section as it was then in
10    effect.  If  a  school  district  qualifies  to   receive   a
11    supplementary  payment  made  under  this subsection (J), the
12    amount of the aggregate general State aid in combination with
13    supplemental general State aid under this Section  which that
14    district is eligible to receive for each school year shall be
15    no less than the amount of the aggregate  general  State  aid
16    entitlement  that  was received by the district under Section
17    18-8 (exclusive of amounts received  under  subsections  5(p)
18    and  5(p-5)  of  that Section) for the 1997-1998 school year,
19    pursuant to the provisions of that Section as it was then  in
20    effect.
21        (2)  If,  as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection
22    (J), a school district is to receive aggregate general  State
23    aid  in combination with supplemental general State aid under
24    this Section for the 1998-99 school year and  any  subsequent
25    school  year  that  in  any such school year is less than the
26    amount of the aggregate general State  aid  entitlement  that
27    the district received for the 1997-98 school year, the school
28    district  shall  also  receive, from a separate appropriation
29    made for purposes of this  subsection  (J),  a  supplementary
30    payment  that is equal to the amount of the difference in the
31    aggregate State aid figures as described in paragraph (1).
32        (3)  (Blank).

33    (K)  Grants to Laboratory and Alternative Schools.
34        In calculating the amount to be  paid  to  the  governing
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -24-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1    board  of  a  public  university  that  operates a laboratory
 2    school under this Section or to any alternative  school  that
 3    is  operated  by  a  regional  superintendent of schools, the
 4    State Board of Education shall require by rule such reporting
 5    requirements as it deems necessary.
 6        As used in this  Section,  "laboratory  school"  means  a
 7    public  school  which  is  created  and  operated by a public
 8    university and approved by the State Board of Education.  The
 9    governing board of a public university which  receives  funds
10    from  the  State  Board  under  this  subsection  (K) may not
11    increase the number of students enrolled  in  its  laboratory
12    school  from  a  single district, if that district is already
13    sending 50 or more students, except under a mutual  agreement
14    between the school board of a student's district of residence
15    and  the  university which operates the laboratory school.  A
16    laboratory school may not  have  more  than  1,000  students,
17    excluding  students  with disabilities in a special education
18    program.
19        As used in this Section,  "alternative  school"  means  a
20    public  school  which  is  created and operated by a Regional
21    Superintendent of Schools and approved by the State Board  of
22    Education.   Such  alternative  schools  may offer courses of
23    instruction for which  credit  is  given  in  regular  school
24    programs,  courses  to  prepare  students for the high school
25    equivalency testing program or  vocational  and  occupational
26    training.   A regional superintendent of schools may contract
27    with a school district or a public community college district
28    to  operate  an  alternative  school.   An alternative school
29    serving more than  one  educational  service  region  may  be
30    established by the regional superintendents of schools of the
31    affected  educational service regions.  An alternative school
32    serving more than  one  educational  service  region  may  be
33    operated  under such terms as the regional superintendents of
34    schools of those educational service regions may agree.

 1        Each laboratory and alternative  school  shall  file,  on
 2    forms  provided  by the State Superintendent of Education, an
 3    annual  State  aid  claim  which  states  the  Average  Daily
 4    Attendance of the school's students by  month.   The  best  3
 5    months'  Average  Daily Attendance shall be computed for each
 6    school. The general State aid entitlement shall  be  computed
 7    by multiplying the applicable Average Daily Attendance by the
 8    Foundation Level as determined under this Section.

 9    (L)  Payments,   Additional   Grants   in   Aid   and   Other
10    Requirements.
11        (1)  For  a school district operating under the financial
12    supervision of an Authority created under  Article  34A,  the
13    general  State  aid  otherwise payable to that district under
14    this Section, but not the  supplemental  general  State  aid,
15    shall  be  reduced  by  an amount equal to the budget for the
16    operations of the Authority as certified by the Authority  to
17    the  State  Board  of  Education, and an amount equal to such
18    reduction shall be paid to the  Authority  created  for  such
19    district for its operating expenses in the manner provided in
20    Section 18-11.  The remainder of general State school aid for
21    any  such  district  shall be paid in accordance with Article
22    34A when that Article provides for a disposition  other  than
23    that provided by this Article.
24        (2)  (Blank).
25        (3)  Summer school.  Summer school payments shall be made
26    as provided in Section 18-4.3.

 2    the  time  the  appointment is made as the chairperson of the
 3    Board. The initial members of the Board may be appointed  any

 5    The  regular  term of each member of the Board shall be for 4
 6    years from the third Monday of January of the year  in  which
 7    the  term  of the member's appointment is to commence, except
 8    that of the 5 initial  members  appointed  to  serve  on  the
 9    Board,  the  member who is appointed as the chairperson shall
10    serve for a term that commences on the date  of  his  or  her
11    appointment and expires on the third Monday of January, 2002,
12    and  the  remaining  4  members,  by  lots drawn at the first
13    meeting of the Board that is held after  all  5  members  are
14    appointed,  shall  determine  2  of their number to serve for
15    terms  that  commence  on  the  date  of   their   respective
16    appointments and expire on the third Monday of January, 2001,

20    the Board shall serve until their respective  successors  are
21    appointed  and  confirmed.   Vacancies shall be filled in the
22    same manner  as  original  appointments.   If  a  vacancy  in
23    membership  occurs  at  a  time  when  the  Senate  is not in
24    session, the Governor  shall  make  a  temporary  appointment
25    until  the  next  meeting of the Senate, when he or she shall
26    appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,  a
27    person  to  fill  that membership for the unexpired term.  If
28    the Senate is not in session when  the  initial  appointments
29    are  made, those appointments shall be made as in the case of
30    vacancies.
31        The Education Funding  Advisory  Board  shall  be  deemed
32    established,   and  the  initial  members  appointed  by  the
33    Governor to serve as members of the Board shall take  office,
34    on the date that the Governor makes his or her appointment of
 
HB3050 Enrolled            -27-                LRB9207211NTsb
 1    the  fifth initial member of the Board, whether those initial
 2    members  are  then  serving  pursuant  to   appointment   and
 3    confirmation  or  pursuant to temporary appointments that are
 4    made by the Governor as in the case of vacancies.
 5        The State Board of Education  shall  provide  such  staff
 6    assistance  to  the  Education  Funding  Advisory Board as is
 7    reasonably required for the proper performance by  the  Board
 8    of its responsibilities.

10    Education Funding Advisory Board, in  consultation  with  the
11    State  Board  of  Education,  shall  make  recommendations as
12    provided in this subsection (M) to the General  Assembly  for
13    the foundation level under subdivision (B)(3) of this Section
14    and  for the supplemental general State aid grant level under
15    subsection (H)  of  this  Section  for  districts  with  high
16    concentrations  of  children  from  poverty.  The recommended
17    foundation level shall be determined based on  a  methodology
18    which   incorporates  the  basic  education  expenditures  of
19    low-spending schools exhibiting  high  academic  performance.
20    The   Education   Funding  Advisory  Board  shall  make  such
21    recommendations to the General Assembly on January 1  of  odd
22    numbered years, beginning January 1, 2001.
