| ||||||
7 | Sec. 18-8.2. Supplementary State aid for new and for | ||||||
8 | certain
annexing districts and for cooperative high schools .
| ||||||
9 | (a) After the formation of a new district, a

10 | shall be made to determine the difference between the salaries
| ||||||
11 | effective in each of the previously existing districts on June | ||||||
12 | 30, prior to
the creation of the new district. For the first 4 | ||||||
13 | years after the
formation of the new district or if the new | ||||||
14 | district was formed after
October 31, 1982 and prior to the | ||||||
15 | effective date of this amendatory Act of
1985, for the 3 years | ||||||
16 | immediately following such effective date, a
supplementary | ||||||
17 | State aid reimbursement shall be paid to the new district
equal | ||||||
18 | to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by | ||||||
19 | each of
the certificated members of the new district while | ||||||
20 | employed in one of the
previously existing districts during the | ||||||
21 | year immediately preceding the
formation of the new district | ||||||
22 | and the sum of the salaries those
certificated members would | ||||||
23 | have been paid during the year immediately prior
to the | ||||||
24 | formation of the new district if placed on the salary schedule |

4 | annexed by one or more other school districts, or after the
| ||||||
5 | division (pursuant to petition under Section 11A-2) of a unit | ||||||
6 | school
district or districts into 2 or more parts which all are | ||||||
7 | included in 2 or
more other community unit districts resulting | ||||||
8 | upon that division, a
computation shall be made to determine | ||||||
9 | the difference between the salaries
effective in each such | ||||||
10 | annexed or divided district and in the annexing or
resulting | ||||||
11 | district or districts as they each were constituted on June 30
| ||||||
12 | preceding the date when the change of boundaries attributable | ||||||
13 | to such
annexation or division became effective for all | ||||||
14 | purposes as determined
under Section 7-9, 7A-8 or 11A-10. For | ||||||
15 | the first 4 years after any
such
annexation or division, a | ||||||
16 | supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be
paid to each | ||||||
17 | annexing or resulting district as constituted after the

20 | such annexing or
resulting district as constituted after the | ||||||
21 | annexation or division while
employed in an annexed or annexing | ||||||
22 | district, or in a divided or resulting
district, during the | ||||||
23 | year immediately preceding the annexation or division,

27 | districts, or resulting or divided
districts, had the highest | ||||||
28 | salary schedule during such immediately preceding
year.
| ||||||
29 | (b-5) After the formation of a cooperative high school by 2 | ||||||
30 | or more school districts under Section 10-22.22c of this Code, | ||||||
31 | a computation shall be made to determine the difference between | ||||||
32 | the salaries effective in each of the previously existing high | ||||||
33 | schools on June 30 prior to the formation of the cooperative | ||||||
34 | high school. For the first 4 years after the formation of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cooperative high school, a supplementary State aid | ||||||
2 | reimbursement shall be paid to the cooperative high school | ||||||
3 | equal to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned | ||||||
4 | by each of the certificated members of the cooperative high | ||||||
5 | school while employed in one of the previously existing high | ||||||
6 | schools during the year immediately preceding the formation of | ||||||
7 | the cooperative high school and the sum of the salaries those | ||||||
8 | certificated members would have been paid during the year | ||||||
9 | immediately prior to the formation of the cooperative high | ||||||
10 | school if placed on the salary schedule of the previously | ||||||
11 | existing high school with the highest salary schedule. | ||||||
12 | (c) Such supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be | ||||||
13 | treated as
separate from all other payments made pursuant to | ||||||
14 | Section 18-8 or 18-8.05.

21 | into 2 or more parts which
all are included in 2 or more other | ||||||
22 | community unit districts resulting upon
that division, | ||||||
23 | reimbursement shall begin during the first year when the
change | ||||||
24 | in boundaries attributable to such annexation or division | ||||||
25 | becomes
effective for all purposes as determined pursuant to | ||||||
26 | Section 7-9, 7A-8 or
11A-10. Each year any such new, annexing | ||||||
27 | or resulting district or cooperative high school , as the
case | ||||||
28 | may be, is entitled to receive reimbursement, the number of | ||||||
29 | eligible
certified members who are employed on October 1 in any | ||||||
30 | such district or cooperative high school shall
be certified to | ||||||
31 | the State Board of Education on prescribed forms by October
15 | ||||||
32 | and payment shall be made on or before November 15 of that | ||||||
33 | year.

6 | the entire 3 year period and the supplementary State aid | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | reimbursements
shall not be diminished because of the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
