SCH CD-TEACH ILLINOIS FUND                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the School Code, State Finance Act,  Illinois  Income  Tax      
   Act,  and  the  use  and  occupation tax Acts.  Provides that 1.79% of      
   specified income tax collections and 1.81% of specified  net  revenues      
   realized  under  use and occupation tax collections shall be deposited      
   in the Teach Illinois Fund, which is created in  the  State  treasury.      
   Provides  for  allocation  of  moneys in the Fund by the Department of      
   Revenue to school districts based upon their average daily  attendance      
   as  determined  by  the  State Board of Education and certified by the      
   State Superintendent of Education to the Department  of  Revenue,  and      
   for  distribution  of  the amounts so allocated to school districts by      
   the State Board of Education.  Requires school  districts  to  deposit      
   moneys  distributed to them from the Teach Illinois Fund in a separate      
   school  district  fund  to  be  used  for  employing  and  paying  the      
   compensation  of  additional  classroom  teachers  or,  under  certain      
   conditions, for paying expenses incurred to provide  further  training      
   or  continuing education or both for its classroom teachers.  Provides      
   for random audits of school districts by the State Board of  Education      
   to  determine  that  allocated  moneys  are used solely for authorized      
   purposes.  Provides that school districts that are  certified  by  the      
   State  Board  of  Education  to  have  violated  statutory  provisions      
   limiting the use of those funds by districts are ineligible to receive      
   future  allocations and distributions from the Teach Illinois Fund for      
   one year.  Allows districts to elect not to receive distributions from      
   the Teach Illinois Fund.  Effective immediately.
