(110 ILCS 805/5-4) (from Ch. 122, par. 105-4)

Sec. 5-4. Any community college district desiring to participate in the program for new academic facilities shall file an application with the State Board prior to such dates as are designated by the State Board. The State Board in providing priorities if such are needed because of limited funds shall be regulated by objective criteria which shall be such as will tend best to achieve the objectives of this Article, while leaving opportunity and flexibility for the development of standards and methods that will best accommodate the varied needs of the community colleges in the State. Basic criteria shall give special consideration to the expansion of enrollment capacity and shall include consideration of the degree to which the applicant districts effectively utilize existing facilities and which allow the Board, for priority purposes, to provide for the grouping in a reasonable manner, the application for facilities according to functional or educational type.
