Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 5-100. School maintenance project grants.

(a) The State Board of Education is authorized to make grants to school
districts and special education cooperatives established by school districts, without regard to enrollment, for school maintenance projects.
These grants shall be paid out of moneys appropriated for that purpose
from the School Infrastructure Fund.  No grant under this Section for
one fiscal year shall exceed $50,000, but a school district or special education cooperative may receive grants
for more than one project during one fiscal year.  A school district or special education cooperative must
provide local
matching funds in an amount equal to the amount of the grant under this
Section.  A school district or special education cooperative has no entitlement to a grant under this Section.

(b) The State Board of Education shall adopt rules to implement this
Section.  These rules need not be the same as the rules for school construction
project grants or debt service grants.

The rules may specify: (1) the manner of applying for grants;
(2) project eligibility requirements; (3) restrictions on the use of grant
moneys; (4) the manner in which school districts and special education cooperatives must account for the use of
grant moneys; and (5) any other provision that the State Board determines
to be necessary or useful for the administration of this Section.

The rules shall specify the methods and standards to be used by the State
Board to prioritize applications.  School maintenance projects shall be
prioritized in the following order:

(i) emergency projects;

(ii) health/life safety projects;

(iii) State Program priority projects;

(iv) permanent improvement projects; and

(v) other projects.

(c) In each school year in which school maintenance project grants are
awarded, 20% of the total amount awarded shall be awarded to a school district
with a population of more than 500,000, provided that the school district
complies with the requirements of this Section and the rules adopted under
this Section.
