(WATSON-LINK-CRONIN-LIGHTFORD) 105 ILCS 230/5-5 Amends the School Construction Law. Provides that for the purpose of calculating the grant index, school districts are grouped into 2 categories to compute equalized assessed valuation per pupil in average daily attendance, one category using average daily attendance in grades kindergarten through 8 and the other category using average daily attendance in grades 9 through 12. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) HB 2255 has no fiscal impact. Rather, it redistributes funds among types of districts. Generally, it "takes" from elementary and secondary districts and "gives" to unit districts. Thus, the State share of a project will be greater for some districts and less for others. To the extent that the total "cost" is a net increase to the State it is within the context of a zero sum system. The school construction program is statutorily limited by the amount of bonds that can be issued to make the grants. Thus, the result is not additional State cost but fewer projects. STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education) The change is effective upon HB 2255 becoming law provided that the grant index for grants not yet made in FY01 and FY02 shall be the greater of the current definition and the one provided in the bill. The effect of HB 2255 is to equalize the ADA of unit districts with that of elementary and secondary districts generally.
