| Sec. 10-21.4. Superintendent - Duties. Except in districts
|
| in which there is only one school with less than four

However, in districts under a | Financial Oversight Panel pursuant to

the | performance of those duties shall be subject to the direction | of the
Panel.
The superintendent shall also notify the State | Board
of Education, the board and the chief administrative | official, other than

year unless the contract specifically provides | otherwise.

|
| (105 ILCS 5/18-3) (from Ch. 122, par. 18-3)
| Sec. 18-3. Tuition of children from orphanages and | children's homes.
When the children from any home for orphans, | dependent, abandoned or
maladjusted children maintained by any | organization or association
admitting to such home children | from the State in general or when children
residing in a school | district wherein the State of Illinois maintains and
operates | any welfare or penal institution on property owned by
the State | of Illinois, which contains houses, housing units or housing
| accommodations within a school district, attend grades | kindergarten through
12 of the public schools maintained by | that school district, the
State Superintendent of Education | shall direct the State Comptroller to
pay a specified amount | sufficient to pay the annual tuition cost of such
children who | attended such public schools during the regular school year
| ending on June 30. The
Comptroller shall pay the amount after | receipt of a voucher
submitted by the State Superintendent of | Education.
| The amount of the tuition for such children attending the | public schools
of the district shall be determined by the State | Superintendent of
Education by multiplying the number of such | children in average daily
attendance in such schools by 1.2 | times the total annual per capita cost of
administering the | schools of the district. Such total annual per capita
cost | shall be determined by totaling all expenses of the school | district in
the educational, operations and maintenance, bond |
| and interest,
transportation, Illinois municipal retirement, | and rent funds for the
school year preceding the filing of such | tuition claims less expenditures
not applicable to the regular | K-12 program, less offsetting revenues from
State sources | except those from the common school fund, less offsetting
| revenues from federal sources except those from federal | impaction aid, less
student and community service revenues, | plus a depreciation allowance; and
dividing such total by the | average daily attendance for the year.
| Annually on or before July 15 the superintendent of the | district shall certify to the State Superintendent of Education | the following:
| 1. The name of the home and of the organization or | association
maintaining it; or the legal description of the | real estate upon which the
house, housing units, or housing | accommodations are located and that no
taxes or service | charges or other payments authorized by law to be made in
| lieu of taxes were collected therefrom or on account | thereof during either
of the calendar years included in the | school year for which claim is being
made;
| 2. The number of children from the home or living in | such houses,
housing units or housing accommodations and | attending the schools of the
district;
| 3. The total number of children attending the schools | of the district;
| 4. The per capita tuition charge of the district; and
|
| 5. The computed amount of the tuition payment claimed | as due.
| Whenever the persons in charge of such home for orphans, | dependent, abandoned
or maladjusted children have received | from the parent or guardian of any such
child or by virtue of | an order of court a specific allowance for educating
such | child, such persons shall pay to the school board in the | district
where the child attends school such amount of the | allowance as is necessary
to pay the tuition required by such | district for the education of the
child. If the allowance is | insufficient to pay the tuition in full the
State | Superintendent of Education shall direct the Comptroller to pay | to
the district the difference between the total tuition | charged and the
amount of the allowance.
| Whenever the facilities of a school district in which such | house,
housing units or housing accommodations are located, are | limited, pupils
may be assigned by that district to the schools | of any adjacent district to
the limit of the facilities of the | adjacent district to properly educate
such pupils as shall be | determined by the school board of the adjacent
district, and | the State Superintendent of Education shall direct the
| Comptroller to pay a specified amount sufficient to pay the | annual tuition
of the children so assigned to and attending | public schools in the adjacent
districts and the Comptroller | shall draw his warrant upon the State
Treasurer for the payment | of such amount for the benefit of the adjacent
school districts |
| in the same manner as for districts in which the houses,
| housing units or housing accommodations are located.
| The school district shall certify to the State | Superintendent of Education
the report of claims due for such | tuition payments on or before
July 15. The
State Superintendent | of Education shall direct the Comptroller to pay to the
| district, on or before August 15, the amount due the district | for the school
year in accordance with the calculation of the | claim as set forth in this
Section.
| Summer session costs shall be reimbursed based on the | actual expenditures for providing these services. On or before | November 1 of each year, the superintendent of each eligible | school district shall certify to the State Superintendent of | Education the claim of the district for the summer session | following the regular school year just ended. The State | Superintendent of Education shall transmit to the Comptroller | no later than December 15th of each year vouchers for payment | of amounts due to school districts for summer session. | Claims for tuition for children from any home for orphans | or dependent,
abandoned, or maladjusted children beginning | with the 1993-1994 school year
shall be paid on a current year | basis. On September 30, December 31, and
March 31, the State | Board of Education shall voucher payments for districts
with | those students based on an estimated cost calculated from the | prior
year's claim. Final claims for those students for the | regular school term
must be received at the State Board of |
| Education by July 15
following the end of the regular school | year. Final claims for those students
shall be vouchered by | August 30 15 . During fiscal year 1994 both the 1992-1993
school | year and the 1993-1994 school year shall be paid in order to | change the
cycle of payment from a reimbursement basis to a | current year funding basis of
payment. However, | notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section or the
| School Code, beginning with fiscal year 1994 and each fiscal | year thereafter, if the amount appropriated for any fiscal year | is
less than the amount required for purposes of this Section, | the amount required
to eliminate any insufficient | reimbursement for each district claim under this
Section shall | be reimbursed on August 30 of the next fiscal year. Payments | required to eliminate any insufficiency for prior fiscal
year | claims shall be made before any claims are paid for the current | fiscal
year.
| If a school district makes a claim for reimbursement under | Section 14-7.03 it shall not include in any claim filed under | this Section
children residing on the property of State | institutions included in its
claim under Section 14-7.03.
| Any child who is not a resident of Illinois who is placed | in a child
welfare institution, private facility, State | operated program, orphanage
or children's home shall have the | payment for his educational tuition and
any related services | assured by the placing agent.
| In order to provide services appropriate to allow a student |
| under the legal
guardianship or custodianship of the State to | participate in local school
district educational programs, | costs may be incurred in appropriate cases by
the
district that | are in excess of 1.2 times the district per capita tuition | charge
allowed under the provisions of this Section. In the | event such excess costs
are incurred, they must be documented | in accordance with cost rules established
under the authority | of this Section and may then be claimed for reimbursement
under | this Section.
| Planned services for students eligible for this funding | must be a
collaborative effort between the appropriate State | agency or the student's
group home or institution and the local | school district.
