operation | and capital needs of the institutions under its governance or
| supervision for the ensuing fiscal year. Each budget proposal | shall conform
to the procedures developed by the Board in the | design of an information
system for State universities and | colleges.
| In order to maintain a cohesive system of higher education, |
| the Board and
its staff shall communicate on a regular basis | with all public university
presidents. They shall meet at least | semiannually to achieve economies of
scale where possible and | provide the most innovative and efficient programs and
| services.
| The Board, in the analysis of formulating the annual budget | request,

college in approving | the capital budget for any new building or facility.
| The Board of Higher Education shall submit to the Governor, | to the
General Assembly, and to the appropriate budget agencies | of the Governor
and General Assembly its analysis and | recommendations on such budget
proposals.
| The Board is directed to form a broad-based group of | individuals representing the Office of the Governor, the | General Assembly, public institutions of higher education, | State agencies, business and industry, statewide Statewide | organizations representing faculty and staff, and others as the | Board shall deem appropriate to devise a system for allocating | State resources to public institutions of higher education | based upon performance in achieving State goals related to | student success and certificate and degree completion. | Beginning in Fiscal Year 2013, the Board of Higher |
| Education budget recommendations to the Governor and the | General Assembly shall include allocations to public | institutions of higher education based upon performance | metrics designed to promote and measure student success in | degree and certificate completion. Public university These | metrics must be adopted by the Board by rule , and public | community college metrics must be adopted by the Illinois | Community College Board by rule. These metrics must be | developed and promulgated in accordance with the following | principles: | (1) The metrics must be developed in consultation with | public institutions of higher education, as well as other | State educational agencies and other higher education | organizations, associations, interests, and stakeholders | as deemed appropriate by the Board. | (2) The metrics shall include provisions for | recognizing the demands on and rewarding the performance of | institutions in advancing the success of students who are | academically or financially at risk, including | first-generation students, low-income students, and | students traditionally underrepresented in higher | education, as specified in Section 9.16 of this Act. | (3) The metrics shall recognize and account for the | differentiated missions of institutions and sectors of | higher education. | (4) The metrics shall focus on the fundamental goal of |
| increasing completion of college courses, certificates, | and degrees. Performance metrics shall recognize the | unique and broad mission of public community colleges | through consideration of additional factors including, but | not limited to, enrollment, progress through key academic | milestones, transfer to a baccalaureate institution, and | degree completion. | (5) The metrics must be designed to maintain the | quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs. | In devising performance metrics, the Board may be guided by the | report of the Higher Education Finance Study Commission. | Each State university state supported institution within | the application of this Act must
submit its plan for capital | improvements of non-instructional facilities to
the Board for | approval before final commitments are made if the total cost of | the project as approved by the institution's board of control | is in excess of $2 million. Non-instructional
uses shall | include but not be limited to dormitories, union buildings,
| field houses, stadium, other recreational facilities and | parking lots. The

Upon the receipt of such a petition, the State | Board shall, in
cooperation with the regional superintendent of | the county or counties in
which the territory of the proposed | district is located, cause a study to
be made of the territory | of the proposed district and the community college
needs and | condition thereof and the area within and adjacent thereto in
| relation to existing facilities for general education, | including
pre-professional curricula and for training in | occupational activities, and
in relation to a factual survey of | the possible enrollment, assessed
valuation, industrial | business, agricultural and other conditions
reflecting | educational needs in the area to be served, in order to
| determine whether in its judgment the proposed district may | adequately
maintain a community college in accordance with such | desirable standards.
In reviewing the application the State | Board shall consider the feasibility
of any proposed | utilization of existing public or private educational
| facilities and land within or in near proximity to the boundary | of the
proposed district, and of contracting with such public | or private
institutions for the provision of educational | programs. If the State
Board finds as the result of its study | that
it is not possible for the proposed district to produce a | desirable program
of community college education at a | reasonable cost, it shall provide a
brief statement of the | reasons for this decision and shall thereupon cause
a copy of |
| the statement to be published in a newspaper or newspapers | having
a general circulation in the territory of the proposed | district and no
election shall be held or further proceedings | had on said petition to
establish such a community college | district. In approving a request for a new community college | district, If approved the State Board

determination | as to whether or not the proposal is in conformity with a
| comprehensive community college program. When the State Board | of Higher Education
approves the request for a new community | college, the State Board shall

brief statement of | the reasons for the decision and a resume stating why
the State | Board deems it possible for the proposed district to provide a
| desirable 2-year two-year college program at reasonable cost, | the conditions under
which such operation would be possible, | the estimated results of such
operation in terms of local | taxes, the nature and probable cost of
alternative methods of | providing adequate community college educational
opportunities | for students in the territory involved and such other
| information as the State Board believes may be helpful to the | voters in
such territory in voting on the proposition to | establish a community
college district.

| protection and safety of the environment, pursuant to the | "Environmental
Protection Act", any local community college | district, including any district

any physical | facilities, or whenever any district determines that it is
| necessary for energy conservation, health or safety, | environmental
protection or accessibility purposes that any | physical
facilities should be altered or repaired and that such | alterations or

| district to which Article VII applies,
provides for alterations | or repairs determined by the local community
college board to | be necessary for health and safety, environmental

district | may, by proper resolution which specifically identifies the
| project and which is adopted pursuant to the provisions of the | Open
Meetings Act, levy a tax for the purpose of paying for | such alterations or
repairs, or survey by a licensed architect | or engineer, upon the equalized
assessed value of all the | taxable property of the district at a rate not to

| repairs, upon the following conditions:
| (a) When in the judgment of the local community college | board of trustees
there are not sufficient funds available in | the operations and
maintenance fund of the district to | permanently pay for such alterations
or repairs so ordered, | determined as necessary.
| (b) When a certified estimate of a licensed architect or | engineer stating
the estimated amount that is necessary to make
| the alterations or repairs so ordered or determined as | necessary has been
secured by the local community college | district and the project and estimated
amount have been | approved by the Executive Director of the State Board .
| The filing of a certified copy of the resolution or | ordinance levying the
tax when accompanied by the certificate | of approval of the Executive Director
of the State Board shall |
| be the authority of the county clerk or clerks
to extend such | tax; provided, however, that in no event shall the extension
| for the current and preceding years, if any, under this Section | be greater
than the amount so approved, and interest on bonds | issued pursuant to this
Section and in the event such current | extension and preceding extensions
exceed such approval and | interest, it shall be reduced proportionately.
| The county clerk of each of the counties in which any | community college
district levying a tax under the authority of | this Section is located, in
reducing raised levies, shall not | consider any such tax as a part of the
general levy for | community college purposes and shall not include the same
in | the limitation of any other tax rate which may be extended. | Such tax
shall be levied and collected in like manner as all | other taxes of

in the judgment
of the local | community college board of trustees there are not sufficient
| funds available in the operations and maintenance fund of the | district to
permanently pay for such alterations or repairs so | ordered or determined as
necessary and a certified estimate of | a licensed architect or engineer
stating the estimated amount | has been secured by
the local community college district and | the project and the estimated
amount have been approved by the | State Board , and as evidence of such
indebtedness may issue | bonds without referendum. However, Community College District | No. 522 and Community College District No. 536 may or in the | alternative by proper resolution or

necessary | and a certified estimate of a licensed architect or engineer
| stating the estimated amount has been secured by
the community | college district and the project and the estimated

| upon demand and under the direction of the board by ordinance, | shall provide
for the levy and collection of a direct annual | tax upon all the taxable
property in the local community | college district sufficient to pay the
principal and interest | on such bonds to maturity. Upon the filing in the
office of the | county clerk of each of the counties in which the community
| college district is located of a certified copy of such | resolution or
