Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 176

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code. Allows the territory of any high school district and fewer than all of the elementary school districts included within the high school district to be organized into a community unit school district. Provides that any such elementary school district not participating in the reorganization shall remain an elementary school district, and the territory of that elementary school district shall be designated a non-high school district. Provides that if a majority of the voters in any affected school district fails to vote in favor of a proposition to create a community unit school district, then that district's refusal shall not prevent the other affected school districts' reorganization. Provides that in the case of a non-high school district formed pursuant to the Article of the School Code concerning the organization of unit school districts, the board of education of the non-high school district shall levy a tax at the rate at which residents were previously taxed by the associated high school district. Provides that all proceeds from this tax shall be paid to the unit school district to which the non-high school district sends its students. Provides that if in any year the yield of the tax is insufficient to cover the tuition charges, then an amount shall be added to the taxes extended within the non-high school district in the following year to repay the deficiency. Effective July 1, 2005.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Creates the FY2007 Budget Implementation (Education) Act. Provides that the purpose of the Act is to make changes in State programs that are necessary to implement the Governor's FY2007 budget recommendations concerning education. Amends the State Finance Act. Provides that the SBE Federal Department of Agriculture Fund is established to receive funds from the federal Department of Agriculture (instead of the federal Department of Education). Amends the School Code. Creates an arts and foreign language education grant program to fund arts education and foreign language education programs in the public schools, subject to appropriation to the State Board of Education. Provides that the grants shall be for the purpose of supporting arts and foreign language education in the schools, with an emphasis on ensuring that art and foreign language courses are available as part of a school's core curriculum. Provides that the State Board of Education shall enter into an agreement with the Illinois Arts Council to cooperate in administering and awarding grants under the program. Amends the Arts Council Act to make a related change. Further amends the School Code. Provides that if the amount that the State Board of Education will pay to a school district from fiscal year 2007 appropriations, as estimated on April 1, 2007, is less than the amount that the State Board paid to the district from fiscal year 2006 appropriations, then the State Board, subject to appropriation, shall make a fiscal year 2007 transitional assistance payment to the district in an amount equal to the difference between the estimated amount to be paid from fiscal year 2007 appropriations and the amount paid from fiscal year 2006 appropriations. In the State aid formula provisions, increases the foundation level of support from $5,164 to $5,334 beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. With regard to supplemental general State aid, provides that (i) for the 2006-2007 school year, the grant shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year, (ii) for the 2007-2008 school year, the grant shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year multiplied by 0.66, and (iii) for the 2008-2009 school year, the grant shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year multiplied by 0.33 (except that if for any school year supplemental general State aid grants are prorated, then the grants under this provision shall be prorated). Effective immediately.
