1     Sec. 18-9. Requirement for special equalization and
2 supplementary State aid.
3     (a) Any school district claiming an equalization quota may
4 not increase its annual net cash balance in the educational
5 fund for the fiscal school year by failing to expend for
6 educational purposes the total of (1) the general grant, (2)
7 the equalization quota, and (3) the amount determined by
8 applying the qualifying rate to the equalized assessed
9 valuation of the district. Any district which increases such
10 annual net cash balance by failing to expend the amount
11 received from the sum of (1) the general grant, (2) the
12 equalization quota, and (3) the amount determined by applying
13 the qualifying rate to the equalized assessed valuation of the
14 district, shall have its next claim for an equalization quota
15 reduced in an amount equal to the difference between its
16 expenditures for educational purposes and that sum.
17     Current expenditures made in any district receiving a
18 special equalization quota and governed by a board of directors
19 must be approved in advance by the regional superintendent.

21 assessment, a final decision of any court, entered not more
22 than one year before or 3 years after August 26, 1963, reduces
23 the taxes received by the educational fund of a school
24 district, for any given year, in an amount equal to or more
25 than 3% of the total amount of taxes extended for educational
26 purposes of the district, that district may amend its claim for

 

 

09500SB1165sam001 - 7 - LRB095 10653 NHT 31676 a

1 equalization aid for that year by adding thereto an amount
2 determined by multiplying the deficiency in tax receipts by a
3 percentage computed by dividing the tax rate required in
4 Section 18-8 to receive an equalization quota by the tax rate
5 originally extended for educational purposes. The amended
6 claim including any additional monies to which the district may
7 be entitled shall be filed within three years of the date of
8 such decision and the additional amount paid as supplementary
9 state equalization aid.
10     (b) Any elementary, high school or unit district which for
11 the year 1971, as compared to the year 1970, has a decrease of
12 more than 40% in the value of all its taxable property as
13 equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, shall be
14 entitled to file a claim for supplementary State aid with the
15 Office of the State Superintendent of Education. The amount of
16 such aid shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the
17 decrease in the value of the district's taxable property times
18 the total of the 1972 tax rates for school purposes less the
19 sum of the district's qualifying tax rates for educational and
20 transportation purposes extended by such district. Such claims

1 of all taxable property in the district is owned by a person or
2 corporation who is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or has
3 been adjudged a bankrupt and, as a result thereof, has not paid
4 taxes on that property for 2 or more years, that district may
5 amend its claim back to the inception of such bankruptcy, not
6 to exceed 6 years, in which time such taxes were not paid and
7 for each succeeding year that such taxes remain unpaid by
8 adding to that claim an amount determined by multiplying the
9 assessed valuation of the property on which taxes have not been
10 paid due to bankruptcy by the tax rate required in Section 18-8
11 to receive an equalization quota or after July 1, 1973, by the
12 district's operating tax rate for general state aid purposes.
13 If at any time a district which receives additional State aid
14 under the provisions of this paragraph receives tax revenue
15 from such property for the years that taxes were not paid, its
16 next claim for State aid shall be reduced in an amount equal to
17 the taxes paid on such property, not to exceed the additional
18 State aid received under the provisions of this subsection (c).
19 Such claims shall be filed on forms prescribed by the
20 Superintendent, and the Superintendent upon receipt of such
21 claims shall adjust the claim of each such district in
22 accordance with the provisions of this subsection (c).
23     (d) If property comprising an aggregate assessed valuation
24 equal to 6% or more of the total assessed valuation of all
25 taxable property in a school district is owned by a person or
26 corporation that is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or

3 general State aid claim (i) back to the inception of the
4 bankruptcy, not to exceed 6 years, in which time those taxes
5 were not paid and (ii) for each succeeding year that those
6 taxes remain unpaid, by adding to the claim an amount
7 determined by multiplying the assessed valuation of the
8 property on which taxes have not been paid due to the
9 bankruptcy by the lesser of the total tax rate for the district
10 for the tax year for which the taxes are unpaid or the
11 applicable rate used in calculating the district's general
12 State aid under paragraph (3) of subsection (D) of Section
13 18-8.05 of this Code. If at any time a district that receives
14 additional State aid under this Section subsection (d) receives
15 tax revenue from the property for the years that taxes were not
16 paid, the district's next claim for State aid shall be reduced
17 in an amount equal to the taxes paid on the property, not to
18 exceed the additional State aid received under this Section
19 subsection (d). Claims under this Section subsection (d) shall
20 be filed on forms prescribed by the State Superintendent of
21 Education, and the State Superintendent of Education, upon
22 receipt of a claim, shall adjust the claim in accordance with
23 the provisions of this Section subsection (d). Supplementary
24 State aid for each succeeding year under this Section
25 subsection (d) shall be paid beginning with the first general
26 State aid claim paid after the district has filed a completed

09500SB1165sam001 - 18 - LRB095 10653 NHT 31676 a

1 Department of Public Health has certified. In these rules and
2 regulations, the Department of Public Health shall require that
3 individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's
4 parent or guardian written notification, before the vision
5 screening is conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a
6 substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye
7 doctor. Your child is not required to undergo this vision
8 screening if an optometrist or ophthalmologist has completed
9 and signed a report form indicating that an examination has
10 been administered within the previous 12 months."
11     (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or
12 she receives a health examination required by subsection (1) of
13 this Section, present to the local school proof of having
14 received such immunizations against preventable communicable
15 diseases as the Department of Public Health shall require by
16 rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section and
17 the Communicable Disease Prevention Act.
18     (4) The individuals conducting the health examination or
19 dental examination shall record the fact of having conducted
20 the examination, and such additional information as required,
21 including for a health examination data relating to obesity,
22 (including at a minimum, date of birth, gender, height, weight,
23 blood pressure, and date of exam), on uniform forms which the
24 Department of Public Health and the State Board of Education
25 shall prescribe for statewide use. The examiner shall summarize
26 on the report form any condition that he or she suspects

 

 

09500SB1165sam001 - 19 - LRB095 10653 NHT 31676 a

1 indicates a need for special services, including for a health
2 examination factors relating to obesity. The individuals
3 confirming the administration of required immunizations shall
4 record as indicated on the form that the immunizations were
5 administered.
6     (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either
7 the health examination or the immunization as required, then
8 the child shall be examined or receive the immunization, as the
9 case may be, and present proof by October 15 of the current
10 school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year
11 established by a school district. To establish a date before
12 October 15 of the current school year for the health
13 examination or immunization as required, a school district must
14 give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days prior
15 to the earlier established date. If for medical reasons one or
16 more of the required immunizations must be given after October
17 15 of the current school year, or after an earlier established
18 date of the current school year, then the child shall present,
19 by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a schedule
20 for the administration of the immunizations and a statement of
21 the medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and
22 the statement being issued by the physician, advanced practice
23 nurse, physician assistant, registered nurse, or local health
24 department that will be responsible for administration of the
25 remaining required immunizations. If a child does not comply by
26 October 15, or by the earlier established date of the current

 

 

09500SB1165sam001 - 20 - LRB095 10653 NHT 31676 a

1 school year, with the requirements of this subsection, then the
2 local school authority shall exclude that child from school
3 until such time as the child presents proof of having had the
4 health examination as required and presents proof of having
5 received those required immunizations which are medically
6 possible to receive immediately. During a child's exclusion
7 from school for noncompliance with this subsection, the child's
8 parents or legal guardian shall be considered in violation of
9 Section 26-1 and subject to any penalty imposed by Section
10 26-10. This subsection (5) does not apply to dental
11 examinations.
12     (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of
13 Education by November 15, in the manner which that agency shall
14 require, the number of children who have received the necessary
15 immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental
16 examination) as required, indicating, of those who have not
17 received the immunizations and examination as required, the
18 number of children who are exempt from health examination and
19 immunization requirements on religious or medical grounds as
20 provided in subsection (8). Every school shall report to the
21 State Board of Education by June 30, in the manner that the
22 State Board requires, the number of children who have received
23 the required dental examination, indicating, of those who have
24 not received the required dental examination, the number of
25 children who are exempt from the dental examination on
26 religious grounds as provided in subsection (8) of this Section

 

 

09500SB1165sam001 - 21 - LRB095 10653 NHT 31676 a

1 and the number of children who have received a waiver under
2 subsection (1.5) of this Section. This reported information
3 shall be provided to the Department of Public Health by the
4 State Board of Education.
5     (7) Upon determining that the number of pupils who are
6 required to be in compliance with subsection (5) of this
7 Section is below 90% of the number of pupils enrolled in the
8 school district, 10% of each State aid payment made pursuant to
9 Section 18-8.05 to the school district for such year may shall
10 be withheld by the State Board of Education regional
11 superintendent until the number of students in compliance with
12 subsection (5) is the applicable specified percentage or
13 higher.
14     (8) Parents or legal guardians who object to health or
15 dental examinations or any part thereof, or to immunizations,
16 on religious grounds shall not be required to submit their
17 children or wards to the examinations or immunizations to which
18 they so object if such parents or legal guardians present to
19 the appropriate local school authority a signed statement of
20 objection, detailing the grounds for the objection. If the
21 physical condition of the child is such that any one or more of
22 the immunizing agents should not be administered, the examining
23 physician, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant
24 responsible for the performance of the health examination shall
25 endorse that fact upon the health examination form. Exempting a
26 child from the health or dental examination does not exempt the

 

 

09500SB1165sam001 - 22 - LRB095 10653 NHT 31676 a

1 child from participation in the program of physical education
2 training provided in Sections 27-5 through 27-7 of this Code.
3     (9) For the purposes of this Section, "nursery schools"
4 means those nursery schools operated by elementary school
5 systems or secondary level school units or institutions of
6 higher learning.
