who work full time and for a full school year are eligible for |

Section 10. If and only if Senate Bill 2042 of the 95th |
General Assembly becomes law, the School Code is amended by |
changing Sections 10-20.12a and 14-7.05 as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/10-20.12a) (from Ch. 122, par. 10-20.12a)
|
Sec. 10-20.12a. Tuition for non-resident pupils. |
(a) To charge non-resident pupils who attend the schools of |
the district
tuition in an amount not exceeding 110% of the per |
capita
cost of maintaining the schools of the district for the |
preceding school year.
|
Such per capita cost shall be computed by dividing the |
total cost of
conducting and maintaining the schools of the |
district by the average daily
attendance, including tuition |
pupils. Depreciation on the buildings and
equipment of the |
schools of the district, and the amount of annual
depreciation |
on such buildings and equipment shall be dependent upon the
|
useful life of such property.
|
The tuition charged shall in no case exceed 110% of the per |
capita
cost of conducting and maintaining the schools of the |
district attended, as
determined
with reference to the most |
recent audit prepared under Section 3-7 which is
available at |
the commencement of the current school year.
Non-resident |
|
pupils attending the schools of the district
for less than the
|
school term shall have their tuition apportioned, however |
pupils who become
non-resident during a school term shall not |
be charged tuition for the
remainder of the school term in |
which they became non-resident pupils.
|
(b) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties involved and |
where the
educational services are not otherwise provided for, |
educational services
for an Illinois student under the age of |
21 (and not eligible for services pursuant to Article 14 of |
this Code) in any residential program
shall be provided by
the |
district in which the facility is located and financed as |
follows. The
cost of educational services shall be paid by the |
district in which the
student resides in an amount equal to the |
cost of providing educational
services in the residential |
facility. Payments shall be made by the district
of the |
student's residence and shall be made to the district wherein |
the
facility is located no less than once per month unless |
otherwise agreed to
by the parties. |
The funding provision of this subsection (b) applies to all |
Illinois students under the age of 21 (and not eligible for |
services pursuant to Article 14 of this Code) receiving |
educational services in residential facilities, irrespective |
of whether the student was placed therein pursuant to this Code |
or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or by an Illinois public |
agency or a court. Nothing in this Section shall be construed |
to relieve the district of the student's residence of financial |
|
responsibility based on the manner in which the student was |
placed at the facility. The changes to this subsection (b) made |
by this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly apply to |
all placements in effect on July 1, 2007 and all placements |
thereafter. For purposes of this subsection (b), a student's |
district of residence shall be determined in accordance with |
subsection (a) of Section 10-20.12b of this Code. The placement |
of a student in a residential facility shall not affect the |
residency of the student. When a dispute arises over the |
determination of the district of residence under this |
subsection (b), any person or entity, including without |
limitation a school district or residential facility, may make |
a written request for a residency decision to the State |
Superintendent of Education, who, upon review of materials |
submitted and any other items or information he or she may |
request for submission, shall issue his or her decision in |
writing. The decision of the State Superintendent of Education |
is final.

(105 ILCS 5/14-7.05)
|
Sec. 14-7.05. Placement in residential facility; payment |
of educational costs. For any student with a disability in a |
residential facility placement made or paid for by an Illinois |
public State agency or made by any court in this State, the |
|
school district of residence as determined pursuant to this |
Article is responsible for the costs of educating the child and |
shall be reimbursed for those costs in accordance with this |
Code. Subject to this Section and relevant State appropriation, |
the resident district's financial responsibility and |
reimbursement must be calculated in accordance with the |
provisions of Section 14-7.02 of this Code. In those instances |
in which a district receives a block grant pursuant to Article |
1D of this Code, the district's financial responsibility is |
limited to the actual educational costs of the placement, which |
must be paid by the district from its block grant |
appropriation. Resident district financial responsibility and |
reimbursement applies for both residential facilities that are |
approved by the State Board of Education and non-approved |
facilities, subject to the requirements of this Section. The |
Illinois placing agency or court remains responsible for |
funding the residential portion of the placement and for |
notifying the resident district prior to the placement, except |
in emergency situations. The residential facility in which the |
student is placed shall notify the resident district of the |
student's enrollment as soon as practicable after the |
placement. Failure of the placing agency or court to notify the |
resident district prior to the placement does not absolve the |
resident district of financial responsibility for the |
educational costs of the placement; however, the resident |
district shall not become financially responsible unless and |
|
until it receives written notice of the placement by either the |
placing agency, court, or residential facility. The placing |
agency or parent shall request an individualized education |
program (IEP) meeting from the resident district if the |
placement would entail additional educational services beyond |
the student's current IEP. The district of residence shall |
retain control of the IEP process, and any changes to the IEP |
must be done in compliance with the federal Individuals with |
Disabilities Education Act. |
Payments shall be made by the resident district to the |
entity providing the educational services, whether the entity |
is the residential facility or the school district wherein the |
facility is located, no less than once per quarter unless |
otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties. |
A residential facility providing educational services |
within the facility, but not approved by the State Board of |
Education, is required to demonstrate proof to the State Board |
of (i) appropriate certification of teachers for the student |
population, (ii) age-appropriate curriculum, (iii) enrollment |
and attendance data, and (iv) the ability to implement the |
child's IEP. A school district is under no obligation to pay |
such a residential facility unless and until such proof is |
provided to the State Board's satisfaction. |
When a dispute arises over the determination of the |
district of residence under this Section, any person or entity, |
including without limitation a school district or residential |
|
facility, may make a written request for a residency decision |
to the State Superintendent of Education, who, upon review of |
materials submitted and any other items of information he or |
she may request for submission, shall issue his or her decision |
in writing. The decision of the State Superintendent of |
Education is final.
