||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Sections | ||||
18-8.2 and 18-8.5 as follows:
| ||||
(105 ILCS 5/18-8.2) (from Ch. 122, par. 18-8.2)
| ||||
Sec. 18-8.2. Supplementary State aid for new and for | ||||
certain
annexing districts and for cooperative high schools .
| ||||
(a) After the formation of a new district, a
computation | ||||
shall be made to determine the difference between the salaries
| ||||
effective in each of the previously existing districts on June | ||||
30, prior to
the creation of the new district. For the first 4 | ||||
years after the
formation of the new district or if the new | ||||
district was formed after
October 31, 1982 and prior to the | ||||
effective date of this amendatory Act of
1985, for the 3 years | ||||
immediately following such effective date, a
supplementary | ||||
State aid reimbursement shall be paid to the new district
equal | ||||
to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned by | ||||
each of
the certificated members of the new district while | ||||
employed in one of the
previously existing districts during the | ||||
year immediately preceding the
formation of the new district | ||||
and the sum of the salaries those
certificated members would | ||||
have been paid during the year immediately prior
to the | ||||
formation of the new district if placed on the salary schedule | ||||
of
the previously existing district with the highest salary | ||||
schedule.
| ||||
(b) After the territory of one or more school districts
is | ||||
annexed by one or more other school districts, or after the
| ||||
division (pursuant to petition under Section 11A-2) of a unit | ||||
school
district or districts into 2 or more parts which all are | ||||
included in 2 or
more other community unit districts resulting | ||||
upon that division, a
computation shall be made to determine |
the difference between the salaries
effective in each such | ||
annexed or divided district and in the annexing or
resulting | ||
district or districts as they each were constituted on June 30
| ||
preceding the date when the change of boundaries attributable | ||
to such
annexation or division became effective for all | ||
purposes as determined
under Section 7-9, 7A-8 or 11A-10. For | ||
the first 4 years after any
such
annexation or division, a | ||
supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be
paid to each | ||
annexing or resulting district as constituted after the
| ||
annexation or division equal to the difference between the sum | ||
of the
salaries earned by each of the certificated members of | ||
such annexing or
resulting district as constituted after the | ||
annexation or division while
employed in an annexed or annexing | ||
district, or in a divided or resulting
district, during the | ||
year immediately preceding the annexation or division,
and the | ||
sum of the salaries those certificated members would have been | ||
paid
during such immediately preceding year if placed on the | ||
salary schedule of
whichever of such annexing or annexed | ||
districts, or resulting or divided
districts, had the highest | ||
salary schedule during such immediately preceding
year.
| ||
(b-5) After the formation of a cooperative high school by 2 | ||
or more school districts under Section 10-22.22c of this Code, | ||
a computation shall be made to determine the difference between | ||
the salaries effective in each of the previously existing high | ||
schools on June 30 prior to the formation of the cooperative | ||
high school. For the first 4 years after the formation of the | ||
cooperative high school, a supplementary State aid | ||
reimbursement shall be paid to the cooperative high school | ||
equal to the difference between the sum of the salaries earned | ||
by each of the certificated members of the cooperative high | ||
school while employed in one of the previously existing high | ||
schools during the year immediately preceding the formation of | ||
the cooperative high school and the sum of the salaries those | ||
certificated members would have been paid during the year | ||
immediately prior to the formation of the cooperative high | ||
school if placed on the salary schedule of the previously |
existing high school with the highest salary schedule. | ||
(c) Such supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be | ||
treated as
separate from all other payments made pursuant to | ||
Section 18-8 or 18-8.05.
In the case
of the formation of a new | ||
district or cooperative high school , reimbursement shall begin | ||
during the
first year of operation of the new district or | ||
cooperative high school ; and in the case of an
annexation of | ||
the territory of one or more school districts by one or more
| ||
other school districts, or the division (pursuant to petition | ||
under Section
11A-2) of a unit school district or districts | ||
into 2 or more parts which
all are included in 2 or more other | ||
community unit districts resulting upon
that division, | ||
reimbursement shall begin during the first year when the
change | ||
in boundaries attributable to such annexation or division | ||
becomes
effective for all purposes as determined pursuant to | ||
Section 7-9, 7A-8 or
11A-10. Each year any such new, annexing | ||
or resulting district or cooperative high school , as the
case | ||
may be, is entitled to receive reimbursement, the number of | ||
eligible
certified members who are employed on October 1 in any | ||
such district or cooperative high school shall
be certified to | ||
the State Board of Education on prescribed forms by October
15 | ||
and payment shall be made on or before November 15 of that | ||
year.
| ||
(d) If a unit school district annexes all the territory of | ||
another
unit school district effective for all purposes | ||
pursuant to Section 7-9 on
July 1, 1988, and if part of the | ||
annexed territory is detached within 90
days after July 1, | ||
1988, then the detachment shall be disregarded in
computing the | ||
supplementary State aid reimbursements under this Section for
| ||
the entire 3 year period and the supplementary State aid | ||
reimbursements
shall not be diminished because of the | ||
detachment.
| ||
(e) The changes made by this amendatory Act of 1989 are | ||
intended to
be retroactive and applicable to any annexation | ||
taking effect after August
1, 1987.

more other community unit districts resulting upon that
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
division, a supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
for
the number of school years determined under the following | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
table to each
new, annexing or resulting district equal to the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
sum of $4,000 for each
certified employee who is employed by | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
such district on a full-time basis
for the regular term of any | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
such school year:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The State Board of Education shall make a one-time calculation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
of a
reorganized district's quintile ranks. The average daily | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
attendance used in
this calculation shall be the best 3 months' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
average daily attendance for the
district's first year. The | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
equalized assessed value per pupil shall be the
district's real |
property equalized assessed value used in calculating the
| ||
district's first-year general State aid claim divided by the | ||
best 3 months'
average daily attendance.
| ||
No annexing or resulting school district shall be entitled | ||
to
supplementary State aid under this Section unless such | ||
district acquires at
least 30% of the average daily attendance | ||
of the district from which the
territory is being detached or | ||
divided.
| ||
If a district results from multiple reorganizations that | ||
would otherwise
qualify the district for multiple payments | ||
under this Section in any year, the
district shall receive a | ||
single payment only for that year based solely on the
most | ||
recent reorganization.
| ||
(a-5) Following the formation of a cooperative high school | ||
by 2 or more school districts under Section 10-22.22c of this | ||
Code, a supplementary State aid reimbursement shall be paid for | ||
3 school years to the cooperative high school equal to the sum | ||
of $4,000 for each certified employee who is employed by the | ||
cooperative high school on a full-time basis for the regular | ||
term of any such school year. If a cooperative high school | ||
results from multiple agreements that would otherwise qualify | ||
the cooperative high school for multiple payments under this | ||
Section in any year, the cooperative high school shall receive | ||
a single payment for that year based solely on the most recent | ||
agreement.
| ||
(b) The supplementary State aid reimbursement payable | ||
under this Section
shall be separate from and in addition to | ||
all other payments made to the
district pursuant to any other | ||
Section of this Article.
| ||
(c) During May of each school year for which a | ||
supplementary State aid
reimbursement is to be paid to a new, | ||
annexing or resulting school district
or cooperative high | ||
school pursuant to this Section,
the school board or governing | ||
board shall certify to the State Board of Education, on forms
| ||
furnished to the school board or governing board by the State | ||
Board of Education for purposes
of this Section, the number of |
certified employees for which the district

school is entitled to reimbursement under this Section, | ||
together with the names,
certificate numbers and positions held | ||
by such certified employees.
| ||
(d) Upon certification by the State Board of Education to | ||
the State
Comptroller of the amount of the supplementary State | ||
aid reimbursement to
which a school district or cooperative | ||
high school is entitled by this Section, the State
Comptroller | ||
shall draw his warrant upon the State Treasurer for the payment
| ||
thereof to the school district or cooperative high school and | ||
shall promptly transmit the payment to
the school district or | ||
cooperative high school through the appropriate school | ||
treasurer.
| ||
(e) The changes to this Section made by P.A. 88-555 shall
| ||
apply to all reorganizations for which the petitions are filed | ||
with the
regional board of school trustees or the regional | ||
