WINKEL-DAVIS,MONIQUE-COWLISHAW-BLACK. (MAITLAND-MYERS,J) 105 ILCS 5/13A-5 105 ILCS 5/13A-6 105 ILCS 5/13A-8 Amends the provisions of the School Code relating to alternative schools. Provides that a teacher who holds an elementary or high school certificate may teach any class in the alternative school program. Eliminates a provision under which a school district in which an alternative program is located and from which a student is administratively transferred has its average daily attendance funding with respect to that student transferred to the alternative school program. Provides instead that the alternative school program is to receive general State aid under the formula established for alternative schools. Provides that the curriculum of an alternative school program may include work-based learning and community service work for which academic credit is earned and includes time spent by a student in such activities in the number of clock hours of daily school work required to constitute a day of attendance for State aid purposes. Provides that the school districts for which an alternative school program is operated may agree to provide additional funding to support the program, and authorizes the program to accept and expend gifts, legacies, and federal and other grants received for purposes directly relating to the conduct and operation of the program. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) Except for the change in General State Aid, HB1823 is cost neutral. The changed GSA would require accessing $2500 to $3000 (now $100) per pupil. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE (SBE) No change from SBE fiscal note. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.
