| AN ACT concerning education.
|
| 2 |
| 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 changing Section |
| 5 |
| 13A-8 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (105 ILCS 5/13A-8)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 13A-8. Funding.
|
| 8 |
| (a) The State of Illinois shall provide funding for
the
|
| 9 |
| alternative school programs within each educational service |
| 10 |
| region and within
the Chicago public school system by line item |
| 11 |
| appropriation made to the State
Board of Education for that |
| 12 |
| purpose. This money, when appropriated, shall be
provided to |
| 13 |
| the regional superintendent and to the Chicago Board of |
| 14 |
| Education,
who shall establish a budget, including salaries, |
| 15 |
| for their
alternative school programs.
Each program shall |
| 16 |
| receive funding in the amount of $30,000 plus an amount
based |
| 17 |
| on the ratio of the region's or Chicago's best 3 months' |
| 18 |
| average daily
attendance in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 |
| 19 |
| to the statewide totals of
these amounts. However, if |
| 20 |
| $19,035,500 or more is appropriated in a fiscal year for |
| 21 |
| alternative school programs, then each program shall instead |
| 22 |
| receive funding in the amount of $50,000 plus an amount
based |
| 23 |
| on the ratio of the region's or Chicago's best 3 months' |
| 24 |
| average daily
attendance in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 |
| 25 |
| to the statewide totals of
these amounts. For purposes of the |
| 26 |
| funding
this calculation, the best 3 months' average
daily |
| 27 |
| attendance for each region or Chicago shall be calculated by |
| 28 |
| adding to
the best 3 months' average
daily
attendance the |
| 29 |
| number of low-income students identified by the Department of |
| 30 |
| Human Services and averaged over the 3 immediately preceding |
| 31 |
| fiscal years,
in the most
recently available federal census
|
| 32 |
| multiplied by one-half times the percentage
of the
region's or |

to the State's total low-income |
| 2 |
| students.
The State Board of Education shall retain
up to 1.1% |
| 3 |
| of the appropriation to be used to provide technical |
| 4 |
| assistance,
professional development, and evaluations for the |
| 5 |
| programs.
|
| 6 |
| (a-5) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this |
| 7 |
| Section, each
for the
1998-1999
fiscal year, the total amount |
| 8 |
| distributed
under subsection (a) for an alternative school |
| 9 |
| program shall be not less than
the total amount that was |
| 10 |
| distributed under that subsection for that
alternative school |
| 11 |
| program for the 2005-2006
1997-1998 fiscal year. If an |
| 12 |
| alternative
school program is to receive a total distribution |
| 13 |
| under subsection (a) for a given
the
1998-1999 fiscal year that |
| 14 |
| is less than the total
distribution that the program received |
| 15 |
| under that subsection for the 2005-2006
1997-1998
fiscal year, |
| 16 |
| that alternative school program shall also receive, from a
|
| 17 |
| separate appropriation made for purposes of this subsection |
| 18 |
| (a-5), a
supplementary
payment equal to the amount by which its |
| 19 |
| total distribution under
subsection (a) for the 2005-2006
|
| 20 |
| 1997-1998 fiscal year exceeds the amount of the total
|
| 21 |
| distribution that the alternative school program receives |
| 22 |
| under that
subsection for the given
1998-1999 fiscal year.
If |
| 23 |
| the amount appropriated
for supplementary payments to |
| 24 |
| alternative school programs under this subsection
(a-5)
is |
| 25 |
| insufficient for that purpose, those supplementary payments |
| 26 |
| shall be
prorated among the alternative school programs |
| 27 |
| entitled to receive those
supplementary payments according to |
| 28 |
| the aggregate amount of the appropriation
made for purposes of |
| 29 |
| this subsection (a-5).
|
| 30 |
| (b) An alternative school program shall be entitled to |
| 31 |
| receive general
State aid as calculated in subsection (K) of
|
| 32 |
| Section 18-8.05 upon filing a claim as
provided therein. Any |
| 33 |
| time that a student who is enrolled in an alternative
school |
| 34 |
| program spends in work-based learning, community service, or a |
| 35 |
| similar
alternative educational setting shall be included in |
| 36 |
| determining the student's
minimum number of clock hours of |

| 4 |
| funding from its
school districts in such amount as may be |
| 5 |
| agreed upon by the parties and
necessary
to support the |
