| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The School Code is amended by adding Section |
| 5 |
| 18-8.10 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (105 ILCS 5/18-8.10 new) |
| 7 |
| Sec. 18-8.10. Fast growth grants.
|
| 8 |
| (a) If there has been an increase in a school district's |
| 9 |
| student population over the most recent 2 school years of (i) |
| 10 |
| over 1.5% in a district with over 10,000 pupils in average |
| 11 |
| daily attendance (as defined in Section 18-8.05 of this Code) |
| 12 |
| or (ii) over 7.5% in any other district, then the district is |
| 13 |
| eligible for a grant under this Section, subject to |
| 14 |
| appropriation. |
| 15 |
| (b) The State Board of Education shall determine a per |
| 16 |
| pupil grant amount for each school district. The total grant |
| 17 |
| amount for a district for any given school year shall equal the |
| 18 |
| per pupil grant amount multiplied by the difference between the |
| 19 |
| number of pupils in average daily attendance for the 2 most |
| 20 |
| recent school years. |
| 21 |
| (c) Funds for grants under this Section must be |
| 22 |
| appropriated to the State Board of Education in a separate line |
| 23 |
| item for this purpose. If the amount appropriated in any fiscal |
| 24 |
| year is insufficient to pay all grants for a school year, then |
| 25 |
| the amount appropriated shall be prorated among eligible |
| 26 |
| districts. As soon as possible after funds have been |
| 27 |
| appropriated to the State Board of Education, the State Board |
| 28 |
| of Education shall distribute the grants to eligible districts. |
| 29 |
| (d) If a school district intentionally reports incorrect |
| 30 |
| average daily attendance numbers to receive a grant under this |
| 31 |
| Section, then the district shall be denied State aid in the |
| 32 |
| same manner as State aid is denied for intentional incorrect |
