Synopsis As Introduced Amends the School Code. In a Section concerning reimbursement for special education classes for children from orphanages, foster family homes, children's homes, or State housing units, provides that if a child who was eligible to receive services under that Section is adopted and that child continues to receive support services from the Department of Children and Family Services, then the child shall continue to be eligible to receive services under that Section. Effective July 1, 2003.
Fiscal Note (State Board of Education)
There are currently over 66,000 records on file at DCFS of which 6,600 were in "subsidized home of guardian" and over 3,400 were eligible for special education services under Sec. 14-7.03 (5% of total records). Assuming 5% of the 6,600 children in "subsidized home of guardian" were eligible for special education services under Sec. 14-7.03 and were shifted to Sec. 14-7.02 and assuming the average Sec. 14-7.03 claim is $10,842, the shift in cost to the state would be over $3.5 million.
