17 | | thereafter, individual school districts must not receive |
18 | | payments under this Section totaling less than they received in |
19 | | fiscal year 2007. This funding shall be computed last and shall |

3 | | Gaming Fund shall be used by the State Board of Education for |
4 | | the purpose of making the hold harmless payments authorized in |
5 | | this paragraph. |
6 | | An amount equal to 85% of the funds remaining in the |
7 | | appropriation shall be allocated to school districts based upon |
8 | | the
district's average daily attendance reported for purposes |
9 | | of Section
18-8.05 of this Code for the preceding school year. |
10 | | Fifteen percent of the
funds
remaining in the appropriation
|
11 | | shall be allocated to school districts based upon the |
12 | | district's low income
eligible pupil count used in the |
13 | | calculation of general State aid under Section
18-8.05 of this |
14 | | Code for the same fiscal year. One hundred percent of the
funds
|
15 | | computed and allocated to districts under this Section shall be |

as |
19 | | calculated under Section 10-20.12a of this Code, the costs in |
20 | | excess
of 4 times the district's per capita tuition rate shall |
21 | | be paid by the State
Board of Education from unexpended IDEA |
22 | | discretionary funds originally
designated for room and board |
23 | | reimbursement pursuant to Section
14-8.01 of this Code. The |
24 | | amount of tuition for these children shall be
determined by the |
25 | | actual cost of maintaining classes for these children,
using |
26 | | the per
capita cost formula set forth in Section 14-7.01 of |
|
| | 09800SB0577sam002 | - 4 - | LRB098 04776 AMC 44892 a |
|
|
1 | | this Code, with the
program and cost being pre-approved by the |
2 | | State Superintendent of
Education. Reimbursement for |
3 | | individual students with disabilities whose program costs |
4 | | exceed 4 times the district's per capita tuition rate shall be |
5 | | claimed beginning with costs encumbered for the 2004-2005 |
6 | | school year and thereafter.
|
7 | | The State Board of Education shall prepare vouchers equal |
8 | | to one-fourth the
amount allocated to districts, for |
9 | | transmittal
to the State Comptroller on the 30th day of |
10 | | September, December, and March,
respectively, and the final |
11 | | voucher, no later than June 20. The Comptroller
shall make |
12 | | payments pursuant to this Section to school districts as soon |
13 | | as possible after receipt of vouchers. If the money
|
14 | | appropriated from the General Assembly for such purposes for |
15 | | any year is
insufficient, it shall be apportioned on the basis |
16 | | of the payments due to
school districts.
|
17 | | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to decrease or |
18 | | increase the
percentage of all special education funds that are |
19 | | allocated annually
under Article 1D of this Code
or to alter |
20 | | the requirement that a
school district provide special |
21 | | education services.
|
22 | | Nothing in this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly |
23 | | shall
eliminate any reimbursement obligation owed as of the |
24 | | effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 93rd General |
25 | | Assembly to a school district with in excess
of 500,000 |
26 | | inhabitants.
