SCOTT-HOEFT-GILES-JONES,JOHN-FOWLER, CROTTY, DAVIS,MONIQUE, FRANKS AND POE. (LIGHTFORD) 105 ILCS 5/26-1 from Ch. 122, par. 26-1 105 ILCS 5/26-2 from Ch. 122, par. 26-2 Amends the School Code. Lowers the compulsory school age by one year, to 6 years of age (from 7 years). Effective July 1, 2001. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) It is unclear how many children HB 795 would impact. There are approximately 160.9 thousand children per grade in grades 1 through 3 and 147.6 thousand already in kindergarten. If 30% of the 13.3 thousand difference is added to school rolls as a result of lowering the compulsory attendance age and this is multiplied by the general State aid foundation level of $4,425, the cost would be approximately $17 million, not including any costs for additional facilities that might be necessary. STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education) Same as SBE fiscal note.
